Is the decimal value followed by a non-numeric character?
DEC needs one to know when it reached the end of the number.
If it's a fixed width number, you can use DEC3 or similar and it will stop looking for a number after the specified number of digits.
From a terminal program, pressing enter (carriage return - 13) is enough.
From any other program, you can use any other non-numeric character.
