RE: Invalid decimal data

There is a tool "FIXDECERR".  Don't remember where I got it, but it does a
good job of reporting and/or repairing decimal data errors, with several
options.  I could try to send if you can't find it online.

Don,

Do you have an algorithm to fix the data?  I.e., how do you determine what
the value should be?

IIRC, I had a situation where a field was messed up and should have been 0.
So I could "UPDATE filename SET fieldname = 0 WHERE (fieldname < 0) OR
(fieldname > 99999)".  This worked because I knew it should not be negative
and it was a 5-digit zoned decimal field, so 99999 was the largest value it
could hold.
