&FLD6 should be a field in the table SWFAIMS.

Please research the documentation on the function ATODBL.

Try this. you can get this stuff from WF Help.

DEFINE FILE SWFAIMS
INPUT6/P14.2 = ATODBL(&FLD6, '15', INPUT6);
END

Syntax: How to Convert an Alphanumeric String to Double-Precision Format
ATODBL(string, length, outfield)
where:

string
Alphanumeric

Is the alphanumeric string to be converted, or a field or variable that contains the string.

length
Alphanumeric

Is the two-character length of infield in bytes. This can be a numeric constant, or a field or variable that contains the value. If you specify a numeric constant, enclose it in single quotation marks. The maximum value is 15.

outfield
Double precision floating-point

Is the name of the field that contains the result, or the format of the output value enclosed in single quotation marks.

Did you try EDIT? 

DEFINE FILE SWFAIMS
MYA/A15 = '&FLD6' ; 
INPUT6/P14.2 = EDIT(MYA) ; 
END


Also, if you really have just dialog mgr variables, 

 
INPUT6/P14.2 WITH MYFLD = &FLD6 ;


should work.
