IDCMAEXP07 - An alphanumeric field, FIELD, is used as an exponent operand. If the field does not contain an integer numeric value, an execution error occurs.

Reason:

At run-time, the contents of the alphabetic field are converted to a numeric value. If the field cannot be converted or if the result has integer places, an execution error occurs.

Action:

None. This is just a warning.
