ICE644A
{VALUE|TOTAL} FOR {(p,m,f)|(VLEN)} OVERFLOWED n DECIMAL DIGITS

Explanation

Critical. A value for the indicated ON(p,m,f) or ON(VLEN) field (DISPLAY or OCCUR) or BREAK(p,m,f) field (DISPLAY), or the total for the indicated ON(p,m,f) field, exceeded the number of digits (n) you allowed for it. n is the number of digits allowed for the value or total as determined from the length and format of the field, or the Ndd or Udd formatting item you specified.

System action

  • For a DISPLAY operator with an overflowing BREAK value, this operation is terminated.
  • For a DISPLAY operator with an overflowing ON value, asterisks are printed for this value in the data line and in any statistics lines requested. Processing continues.
  • For a DISPLAY operator with an overflowing total, asterisks are printed for the total. Processing continues.
  • For an OCCUR operator with an overflowing ON value, this operation is terminated.

Programmer response

Specify an Ndd or Udd formatting item large enough to prevent overflow of the value or total (that is, use an appropriate Ndd or Udd value between n+1 and 31).
