You asked this question the other day.
What version are you on? You need to increase the size of your fields.
This is what the error means.

During an aggregation (SUM), the result of an ADD DECIMAL
instruction exceeded the capacity of the field. The magnitude of
the field has been set to 99...99 (the sign is unchanged) and
the corresponding count has been frozen
