Thank you all,
To be honest my brain is running at 30% these days.
Lots of major medical issues in the family. Sleep deprived for sure.
Yep, correct, the -40012 is a real number even though the actual data is wrong.
It is vendor data on a record created 3 years ago.
I will figure why my excel build pgm is failing. It "should" be able to handle it.
First time it ever failed, and of course I only write perfect code. :)

It really would take some serious looking.
Starting with the obvious: Are you querying the base table or some view/index/logical with select/omit rows specified?
What is the value of your "where" clause? Is it selecting by the column in error?
Keep in mind that
*..
402
01D
is not an invalid number. It is negative 40012. I proved that with my SQL example. It is not -1249 in any way, shape, or form.
Perhaps you "think" it's blowing up on this column but it's really blowing up on some other.
One would really have to pour over the joblog and everything else.

Ok, got it figured out, kind of.
Running a qry brings up 2 records.
When I do a DSPPFM of the file, if I keep searching I find 3!
The bad record is being ignored by the system?
I changed qry to not ignore decimal data errors.
I use WRKDBF to go to that customer and the bad record is not displayed.
Could it be because it is part of the key?

When I do a qry of the file selecting that field containing -1249 it
brings up 2 records.
Doing a DSPPFM on the file, the first record contains the 40012D (the 40
look obviously wrong), the second record contains 01249D.
That "bad" record was created a little over 3 years ago. That field is
part of the key.
I created a little pgm and put them in debug to read those 2 records.
Both records contained -1249 in the field.

I created this with SQL which will NOT get decimal data errors.
CREATE TABLE QTEMP.JERRY (MYDEC DEC (5 , 0)) INSERT INTO QTEMP.JERRY
VALUES(0-40012)
*..
402
01D
I would make double dog sure that you are looking at the exact origin of
the error.
What I don't get is where you say both sets of data are the same -1249.

Hi All,
I have a pgm that takes any IBMi file and will create an excel. Been
working for a long time.
One of the controllers was using it and got a decimal data error.
I ran it in debug and found the following.
The field is Packed 5,0. Looks bad to me. The number is -1249.
[cid:image001.png@01D07CD6.904EBFF0]
When I look at the record in qry it displays correctly. When I use WRKDBF
is displays correctly.
When I change it via WRKDBF it puts it in like that.
There is another record in the same file that has a -1249. Looks correct.
[cid:image002.png@01D07CD7.2A88B6C0]
What the he.........ck?
The system understands what it is. My pgm that takes the raw line, parses
it and makes it a number does not like it.
