Re: Interesting effect in command creation

I don't know why this is the case, but... command prompt parameters have 
to be one of the following lengths:
   1-12, 17, 25, 32, 50, 80, 132, 256, 512

Since your *DEC parameter can allow for a minus sign and decimal point, 
it won't fit in a length=17 blank, so the system goes to the next larger 
size, 25 chars.

That's just the way commands have always worked.
