Re: Fix Data Decimal Error - No Lock

If this is a one-shot, consider processing the file as UP (update/primary)
and no K.  Treat as a sequential file.  Its runtime will be very fast.

Subject: Fix Data Decimal Error - No Lock

We have a need to zero out several fiels with data decimal
errors, but cannot lock the file while doing so. Also need
to read into a DS to TESTN a *CHAR field, without a lock,
then CHAIN back to the file and UPDAT from a DS where the
*CHAR definition exists. From what I can tell, the read
into DS scenario requires an internally defined file.

Oh, and we are using RPGIII - as we have sites that are backlevel
as far as V3R2, RPGIV is 'ix-nayed' for now.
