Invalid aruments in decode when running report

Question

Hi,
I have a decode statement in my sql.
I can close the data model and compile the program - no errors
However, when I run the report, I get invalid number of arguments for the decode.
I have copied the same code from a working report with the same unfortunate result.
Help !

...Also trying supplying more details on the "4 parameters that work". What does that mean to people who do not have your data. Does the 5th one work when null? Does the 5th one only produce an error when you supply a value. What are some example values of the other 4 parameters?
