SCALE
TextJohn Godfrey at MAFF has experienced some very interesting PROBLEMS with
scaled masked decimal CONVERSIONS (Essentially scaling allows stored
figures to be altered by a chosen order of magnitude BEFORE the MD
conversion is applied For more details see Technical Reference K 274)

When trying to MD01 Z a small number (in this case 0 1415) the system hung
and needed to be rebooted This occurs whenever the number to be OCONVed is
less than half the number representing the order of magnitude represented by
the scaling figure Thus if the scaling figure was 2 (100) the system would
OCONV 50 but fail on 49 if 3 (1000) 500 would work but 499 would fail As
this is a fatal error it should be trapped for when programming
