I got an error also. I suspect you have more than 999 ASVT slots defined. According to the REXX manual:
If before is not large enough to contain the integer part of the number (plus the sign for a negative number), an error results. In this case, 'before' was 3, so it was not big enough to hold 4 digits, hence the error.
