RE: Invalid decimal data

That's what I was thinking with the SQL statement, but I seem to remember
trying this recently and having the statement simply die when the offending
record was read.

I'll try it again, though.

Thanks.

IIRC, I had a situation where a field was messed up and should have been 0.
So I could "UPDATE filename SET fieldname = 0 WHERE (fieldname < 0) OR
(fieldname > 99999)".  This worked because I knew it should not be negative
and it was a 5-digit zoned decimal field, so 99999 was the largest value it
could hold.
