IDCMEDIT08 - Edited field will have decimal places truncated

Reason:

An expression involving $EDIT of a numeric field was encountered. The edit-mask used for the PIC operand does not contain as many decimal places as the numeric identifier being edited. This truncates trailing decimal digits and can lead to unexpected results. You might want to make changes to your program to avoid such truncation.

Action:

No action might be necessary. If change is wanted, alter the specification of the numeric identifier so that it contains fewer decimal digits or change the edit-pattern to accommodate more decimal digits.
