Hi,
I am trying to convert a comp value to decimal value. when the value in the file is small i am able to convert it, but when its big (more than 9 digits) i am getting error saying incorrect call to routine. Below is my code where i do the core processing. Can someone help me out.
Does C2D have any limitation.

LEN = COL2 - COL1 + 1
"(DATA1) = LINE "CURRLN /* DATA1 = CURRENT LINE */
DATA3 = SUBSTR(DATA1, COL1, LEN)
B2D:
DATA2 = C2D(DATA3,LEN)
DATA2 = LEFT(HEX,LENGTH(HEX)) */
DATA1 = INSERT(DATA2, DATA1, COL1)
"LINE" CURRLN " = (DATA1)"

OR-BINARY2
4/BI
(63-66)

I think you need to set the NUMERIC DIGITS or NUMERIC FUZZ before your code.
