DRA0401E

INVALID NUMERIC CONSTANT

Reason:

In an ADD, SUBTRACT, MULTIPLY, DIVIDE, INCREMENT, INCR, UP, DECREMENT, DECR, REDUCE, MOVE, SET, COMPUTE, or DECODE statement, one of three errors exists:

• A constant with non-numeric characters was entered when the Reporting Facility was expecting a numeric constant.
• A literal was entered without the required apostrophes.
• The numeric constant exceeded the maximum precision. (Between 15.0 and 0.15, where the number of integers is less than or equal to 15.)

Action:

If the constant should have been numeric, correct it. If you intended to enter an alphanumeric literal string, put apostrophes around it. If the numeric constant exceeds the maximum length, shorten it.
