RE: The target for a numeric operation is too small to hold the result

Angela.

I don't believe the 'decimals' would be the issue. It may be an intermediate
field that is causing your problem. Could you show us the field definitions
and the calc statement where the error is generated.

How do I get around this error using the eval statement?  I DO NOT want to
make the field bigger,  I just want to truncate the extra decimals. It is a
complex equation,  which I then push the result to a display field,  so to
determine the max field size will be difficult,  plus I then have to move
the 'temp' field to a display field.  

 

I just want to ignore the extra decimals!   I tried eval(r)    also and
still get the same errors
