Re: Invalid decimal data

For numeric (or date ...) field, i use monitor now.

Monitor ;
    Numfield = %int(alphafield) ;
On-error ;
    Clear numfield ;
End-monitor;

Take a look at the doc to have more details.
here for V5R3 :

I have a program that is bringing in the LDA (partially externally

described

partially program described).

** Fetch external description of LDA
D LDA           E DS                  EXTNAME(LDA)
** PROGRAM STATUS DATA STRUCTURE
D    LDU#IDAT           198    204  0
D    LDU#EDAT           205    210  0
C     *DTAARA       Define    *LDA          LDA
C                   In        LDA

I've been told the program intermitently gets a DDE on the LDA.  I

haven't

been told which field.  I've searched the archives and read about fifty
posts on this subject and added
H FIXNBR(*INPUTPACKED)
to the H spec.

I tried;
FIXNBR(*ZONED *INPUTPACKED)
but SEU gave me RNF0312
A right parenthesis is expected but is not found.
with the curser placed on the second astersk(*).  Is it possible to do

both?

The TESTN and CHECK op codes look at alpha fields to see if they have

valid

numeric data in them.  It it possible to look at the numeric field
(LDU#IDAT) to see if it's valid and clear it if it isn't?
or is there a %bif that would work?

also, link: http://www.midrangecomputing.com/ftp/prog/92/B920106.txt
seems to be broken.
