Re: data decimal error

I could think of a trigger program doing this also.  Do a *READ *AFTER
and have the trigger program do a ctoi (Character to Integer) or ctof
(Character to Float) on each of the fields that is supposed to be
numeric.  For any field that is *Zero initialize the field value to
0.  Then exit the trigger program.

Any new numeric fields would have to be added to the trigger program
though.

Hmm.. coming to think of it, this could get rid of all my decimal data
errors in my S36 Flat files too!
