  • Subject: Client Access/Data Transfer <Error CWBTF0008> and other question(s) :-)
  • From: Chuck Lewis <CLEWIS@xxxxxxxxxx>

Hi Folks,

Trying to send a PC file (from a Unix box, converted via Excel to a .CSV
file) to the AS/400 and I get:

CWBTF0008 - Numeric data has too many digits for the AS/400 field.
Maximum value will be used.

If I click on "OK" it goes ahead and runs and everything LOOKS ok (?)...

The file on the AS/400 497 positions in length. There are a number of
numeric fields but none with more than 3 decimals and none longer 9 in
length...

I am a little rusty on the FDF files... On the AS/400 a fields says it
is 9,2 and in the FDF file the field is 12/2. What's the deal with that
?

Thanks for any help !!!

Chuck
