RE: Re: Ignore Decimal Error

"Frankly I think ignoring them is a lousy idea anyway - if you need to
handle
them you can always check the numeric fields by remapping the fields as
character and checking the content _before_ you touch them as numerics."

I agree with Jon.

At my last job the programmers used the 'ignore decimal data error' option
in the RPG programs.  Once you start using this, it's hard to ever go back.
