Re: SQLRPG Help

You can create an identical file with an additional numeric field at the
end (1 byte with 0 decimal positions is fine). Use CPYF to copy from
your original file to the new file. Then CPYF back from the new file to
the original file. Use FMTOPT(*MAP *DROP) on the CPYFs.

This will set any numeric fields with invalid decimal data to their
default value (ZERO is the default default!).
