I had once a command that listed first few recordnumbers and first few
fields with invalid dec. data. Based on a ffd (to outfile or API - I
don't remember) plus a character/string handling) it validated each
field.

Is there a public interest for such a routine?


Pls. Note: I'll be without mail-connection for next two weeks, so don't
expect any quick answer.

Subject: Decimal Data Error batch edit

We have a new process by which we are using FTP to download a file from
our
Unix Oracle box to the AS/400.  The *very* preliminary test data has
shown
some cases of decimal data errors.  I have decided to implement some
kind of a
pre-processor that checks to see if there are *any* DDEs *anywhere* in
the
file; if a DDE is found, I'm rejecting the entire file.

Is there a OS function, trade rag "program of the month", or other
published
code that takes the filename as a parameter and checks the file for
DDEs?
FWIW, all numerics are defined as zoned decimal - no packed data in
this file.
 I tried using CPYF and was surprised that the bad data copied without
incident.  I did get the CPYF to bomb with CPF2906 by specifying
   INCREL((*IF SWPMSL *LE 999.99))
Field SWPMSL is defined as 5 digits, 2 decimal, so I figured any valid
value
would pass this test.  The problem is that I've got several numeric
fields in
this file, and I would like to keep the solution generic enough to
accommodate
future definition changes to the file without having to modify the
INCREL
parameter.  Also, the INCREL parameter is limited to 50 field value
tests,
which normally would not be a problem, especially in this case, but it
would
be nice not to have to worry about this limitation.

NOTE that I do NOT want the function to "correct" the data; I just want
to
know if there's at least one DDE.  I checked the archives, but could
not find
any reference to the solution I am seeking.
