Well, if you convert your DB2 files from DDS to DDL, then you could never load the bad data into the file in the first place. DDS validates data when reading from DASD, where DDL validates data when writing to DASD.

I am definitely NOT a fan of FIXNBR....

Subject: Handling decimal data errors at the field level


Hi,

Has anyone had any experience handling decimal data errors at the field
level? I know you can trap for the decimal data error that happens when a
record is read that contains a decimal data error in one of the field
values, and I know you can set the FIXNBR parameter on the RPG compile to
automatically fix numeric values that are bad. But I want to know which
specific field(s) in the record were bad. It's OK that the compiler will
fix them for me, but I want to know which field(s) in the record were fixed.

Any ideas?

Best Regards,

Thomas Garvey
