Answer / anusha

Reason
The program gives the decimal data error if a Numeric value is passed from a numeric field to a non numeric field.
It usually occurs if the values are passed from one program to another.

How to avoid
Initialize a value to the field by INZ
The size and Decimal format of the passed and the passing parameter should be the same.
