Hi guys,

I'd appreciated if you could help me solve the following problem:

PROGRAM:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
TEST2:PROCEDURE OPTIONS(MAIN);
DCL CNT DECIMAL FIXED;
DISPLAY('THIS IS TEST2');
GET LIST(CNT);
DISPLAY('INPUT='||CNT);
END TEST2;
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
after run it and then input any numbers, such as 3 in the console.
the error message show up:
---------------DOS screen------------------------------------------
THIS IS TEST2
3
IBM0032I ONCODE=0612 The CONVERSION condition was raised
because a conversion error occurred when converting from
character
to arithmetic.
At offset +000000CE in procedure with entry TEST2
---------------DOS screen------------------------------------------

any help will be appreciated!

Thanks in advanced!

Best regards,
kelvin

Looks good to me. Tried your program in Personal PL/I for OS/2:

Try this and see what you get:

TEST2:PROCEDURE OPTIONS(MAIN);
ON CONVERSION BEGIN;
DISPLAY('ERROR CONVERTING ''' || ONSOURCE() || '''');
STOP;
END;

DCL CNT DECIMAL FIXED;
DISPLAY('THIS IS TEST2');
GET LIST(CNT);
DISPLAY('INPUT='||CNT);
END TEST2;

You didn't say what compiler and version you were using.
Try running this agau\in, by typing 3 followed by a space,
then pressing ENTER.|

You did say version after all. It didn't show up in the short version
displayed in the summaries of posts,
and I didn't look at it again when I opened the post.

That was a known bug in early version with 64-bit integers.

Solve it as I said, by putting a space after the data and before
pressing ENTER.

Suggest you get an update for your compiler.
