Understanding Packed Decimal Data Type Errors


C language only

All the warning and messages for packed decimal data errors are issued by the ILE C compiler during compilation, unless explicitly stated as occurring at run time. If you receive a warning during compilation for overflow, an exception may be generated at run time; SIGFPE is raised.

Note:
Some of the overflow situations are signaled during compilation through a warning; loss of digits may occur.
