As you point out IGNDECERR doesn't fix the data exceptions: it just causes
invalid data to be ignored. What's happening is that during the input cycle
the generated code detects that the buffer positions mapped to FIELD1
contain invalid data so it doesn't load the field. It therefore keeps its
previous value. I would expect the same results at all previous OS
releases.
