RE: EVAL opcode in RPGLE..

[Joel Fritz <JFritz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You probably want to use the R operation extender on the eval statements or
code it as an H spec.  Without seeing the code, I'm guessing the overflow is
in an intermediate result.  The R extender will guarantee that no system
generated temporary field will have a maximum possible value less than that
of the result of the calculation.

If the problem is the size of the result field, and truncation is what you
_really_ want in the case of overflow, you'll need to change the evals back
to add.

What did you use to convert the source?  CVTRPGSRC doesn't replace add with
eval.
