 DBFNTX/1021  Data width error

     Default Behavior:  The default handling for this error is to fill
     the relevant part of the physical database record with asterisk (*)
     characters.  Subsequent accesses to the field will produce a value of
     zero until a new value is assigned.

     Explanation:  The value assigned to a numeric FIELD variable could
     not be accurately represented in the field width specified by the
     database structure.

     Action:  Change the program to suppress invalid values or modify the
     structure of the database file (.dbf) to allow for larger values.  DBU,
     the CA-Clipper Database Utility, can be used to modify the structure of
     a database file (.dbf).
