This is a zoned field and not packed.
My bad. I didn't see where that was specified, and was just thinking
packed. I guess it comes from the S/32/4/6 days where blanks in a zoned
field became zero automatically, but blanks in a packed field produced the
error given.
Here's a thought: Use a RPG II in the S36EE to read the file and rewrite to
a new native file (using program described files of course). In the process
it will correct all the zone nibbles in zoned numeric fields. <gd&r>

PS - You can also use FIXNBR(*ZONED) with RPG IV, but that really isn't
quite the same thing as RPG II does.
