RE: igndecerr(*yes)

All of that being said, I think this is a horrible compile option, and I would rather recommend the use of Monitor blocks to trap data exceptions... The very notion of ignoring runtime exception seems absurd (reckless, irresponsible) to me...

Reading through an input flat file which is converted from e.g. a CSV
spreadsheet. Very common to find that formatting errors creep in.

Hi all,

An RPGIII I just converted to ILE blew up when it ran :

Before :

RPGIV procedure calls CLP, passing a signed numeric variable (the RPGIV had
been converted 6 months ago and the parameter was changed by error and not
noticed). The CLP does nothing, just passes it to the RPGIII.

After :
The RPGIII is now also RPGIV and blows up when it tries to access the
parameter.


I eventually found that the reason being was that a custom compile command
compiled the RPGIII with igndecerr(*yes).

My question is, why would anyone want to compile this way?

Thanks.
