Decimal data error occurs primarily when numeric field receives invalid values/numbers. The same goes for the case of parameter passing.
When the file is opened by a program and the record containing the invalid data is read, you will not get an error.
But if the field containing the invalid data is read in the program, and some arithematic operation is performed with that value it gives decimal data error.
For eg by being the Factor1 of a MOVEx operation, or either factor in an ADD, SUB, DIV, MULT etc., or on the right-hand side of an EVAL, or if it is involved in a WRITE or UPDATE operation -- then it will be checked, and then the program will fail.
