Arithmetic operand exceeds maximum size

Either an operand or the result of an arithmetic operation exceeds the allowable size for its data type. Possible causes are as follows:

• During evaluation of an arithmetic expression, the number of significant digits in the final or some intermediate result exceeded 28 for a decimal variable or the whole number part of an implied-decimal variable.
• The INCR statement caused the value of a variable to overflow its field width. (For example, the highest number a d2 field can hold is 99.)
• A decimal value that exceeded the documented limit was passed to a system-supplied external subroutine.
• A decimal value exceeds the minimum 64-bit value.
• You specified a decimal value greater than 65,535 as the control value in a SLEEP statement or as the number of seconds to wait in the WAIT external subroutine.
