Help All,
 
We have a process that reads an XML document via Java and does a SQL insert into our DB2 tables on our iSeries.  The problem is that the vendor that is providing the document hasn't been able to provide us with their field lengths for the data.  While we have maybe 90% or so of the data coming thru okay, about once every 6 months we find one that will bomb our code, usually on a text field.  Is there some way to have SQL when it sees a truncation error actuall truncate the field and not error the insert?
 
Thannks,

Cole
