<tap, tap, tap>  Testing 1,2,3...

Been doing some testing.  I moved some fields around in the source, and did a 
CHGPF on it. 
Several variations resulted in the same error, but others I could not replicate 
the error.  The
current one is that I swapped the position of two alpha fields.  The one giving 
us the problem was
sandwiched between two numeric packed fields; I swapped this field with the 
alpha field at the end
of the record.  Didn't change the data; no more problem.  I entered leading 
apostrophes into the
field that *was* at the end of the record but is now sandwiched between two 
numeric packed fields
and, again, NO problems.  ?!?!?!?!?!?

Surely someone out there must have experienced this problem.  Well, maybe not, 
searching APARs
turned up nothing.

TIA, Dan
