  • Subject: RE: Ignore decimal data error

That's what I thought at first, but "Fix Decimal Data" and "Ignore Decimal
Data Error" are two entirely different things according to the manual.  

"Fix Decimal Data" actually changes invalid decimal data to 0 if the field
is not packed.  "Ignore Decimal Data Error" simply ignores any invalid
decimal data with, as I recall, unpredictable results.  I verified this
difference using the solution Carsten recommended.

Looks like that solution will get me what I want though with some manual
effort.  I think I can create a CL program to create a list of all RPG
programs, execute STRDBG and ADDBKP for each program, display the program
variable to print, and then copy the spooled file to a physical file.

Thanks Carsten.

If you WRKPGM and do a 5 to Display Program Info., there is an entry for Fix
decimal data.  Press F1 on it and the help text explains the setting.  It
sounds like what you are looking for.
