I'm trying to utilize more Free Form specs and am stuck on something.
Normally for a display file for the INFDS we declare the data structure 
(focusing on PAGRRN for this issue)
D INFDS           DS 
D   KEY                 369    369 
D   CURLOC              370    371B 0 
D   PAGRRN              378    379B 0 
So I'm trying to do that in Free Form and have come up with this.
        DCL-DS INFDS;
          KEY CHAR(1) POS(369);
          CURLOC BINDEC(2) POS(370);
          PAGRRN BINDEC(2:0) POS(378);
        END-DS;
Something is wrong with PAGRRN portion.  Is BINDEC not the same the 'B'?
The issue I have is that after paging down 9 times it give a 'target 
numeric is too small to hold the results'.
If only change the program to *below* the program works fine. 
        DCL-DS INFDS;
          KEY CHAR(1) POS(369);
          CURLOC BINDEC(2) POS(370);
     D   PAGRRN              378    379B 0
          //PAGRRN BINDEC(2:0) POS(378);
        END-DS;
