RE: Problem with Data Decimal Error

The sub-field of a ds is not validated until you actually try to use it.

Yes, there was a problem.  It is usually a data structure that is not
getting initialized properly after the one line modification.  So I tack
an INZ on the data structure and everything is cool.  My question is why
didn't this show up before?

Aside from why this happened when you did nothing to it, have you looked
at the section of code?  Is there a data decimal error problem? 



Another question: when you comment the new line you added, so everthing
is just as before, and compile, does the data decimal error go away?  I
ask that because you may not be working with the same source as was used
to compile the working program.  I've had situations where a programmer
couldn t fix a problem so he just left the broken source code for the
next guy.

  I have a problem with Data Decimal Errors.  I have a working program

that normally runs with no problems.  I add one line of code and now

when it runs it encounters a data decimal error in a area of the program

that I have never modified.  This is really frustrating me.

  We are working in V5R1 with RPG/ILE.

 

Thanks ahead of time for all of your help.

 

Marvin
