RE: DBU won't let me edit STDCU field in ITEMBL file

Al,
Did the people at ProData say there was a problem viewing fields over 15
positions with the earlier release of DBU?  I'm relying on my memory and
quite frankly, my memory has seen better days.

Hi Ed Chabot:

Thanks for your fast reply to my query.

> "What version of DBU are you using?"

We have a very old version, 4.0.  I telephoned the publisher and was advised
that we can download version 5.0 off the Internet (after paying the
appropriate fees).  They have even a later version but it won't work on our
CISC IBM AS/400 model.

> "How big are the fields in DB/Y2K?'

They are the same size: 19 positions with 8 decimals

Am I back at square one?

I look forward to hearing from you again at your convenience.
