CEE3214S: Significance Exception (System Completion Code 0CE)

What does CEE3214S: Significance Exception (System Completion Code 0CE) mean in PL/I?

A decimal operation produced a result whose most significant digit position couldn't be represented, typically because the operands were of very different magnitude and the smaller one lost all significance in the calculation.

Condition

A decimal operation produced a result whose most significant digit position couldn't be represented, typically because the operands were of very different magnitude and the smaller one lost all significance in the calculation.

Fix

Review the arithmetic for operand magnitude mismatches, use a DECIMAL declaration with enough precision for the calculation, and restructure the expression to avoid subtracting nearly equal large numbers.
