Re: Decimal Data Error

[alan shore <SHOREA@xxxxxxxx>]

If I understand your problem correctly, you are attempting to use a field from 
the file once you have read past the end of file. The question is why are you 
attempting to do this? Do you need to use that field from the last record read? 
If yes, as each record is read, prior to end of file, move that field to a 
separate field and use that separate field at end of file. If this is not the 
reason why you are using this field - please advise..

Hi there,
Got this little problem :-
SETGT on a file, then READP (using *in70) - now if we run off
the top of the file *in70 = on and we bypass the rest of the file.

Now, here comes the problem, there is a field from this file 
(defined as zoned decimal) that is used for calculation later on.

If we hit tof (*in70 on), this field will hold hex '40' (spaces), which is
wrong - it should hold zeros. No matter what I do to this field it ALWAYS
gives a decimal data error.

I've tried a bit of code like:
*IN70  IFEQ *ON
          Z-ADD *ZEROS GBBKXV
(or)     MOVE *ZEROS GBBKXV
          ENDIF

this bit of code works but later on when I want to ADD GBBKXV to another
field (packed decimal) I get the error.

Anyone got any ideas ??
Cheers
Marc
