GIGO rocks! I pretty much expect an import utility to just quietly stuff whatever junk into the database file, instead of failing with any error messages ;-)

To determine what records did not import, use the ERRRCDFILE. Or perhaps force the request to fail immediately upon the first data error using ERRLVL(0) versus asking the import to attempt ploughing through to the end of file per the default of ERRLVL(*NOMAX). Using the ERRLVL(0), one record beyond the number of rows inserted\copied to the database file is the "record number" causing a problem. Of course a "record number" may be ambiguous for a stream file with delimited "row" data; i.e. EOR embedded in a delimited field may be counted as a "record" for a utility recognizing only those EOR without regard to any field data delimiters.
