Re: DDE bugs

[D.BALE@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Wow, this is really getting to be a pain.  Both in dealing with DDEs *and*
extracting foot from mouth.

I thought I had tested the CPYF INCREL, but apparently not thoroughly enough.

Hans, Barbara, George, would my current situation be solved by the proposed
%TEST bif, mentioned in survey question #11?  To quote the Detailed
Description: "For example, to check if a zoned decimal variable has proper
numeric data."  If so, it's got my vote!

Aarrgghh!  Foiled again!

Even this isn't working - moving a numeric zoned decimal variable with
embedded blanks to an alpha field converts the blanks to zeros in the alpha
field (still hex'40's in the numeric variable).

Barbara, Hans, others,

I am moving towards the QUSLFLD solution you and others have mentioned.
However, in my development testing, I am being reminded that TESTN does not
work on numeric fields.  So now I have to move the numeric value to an alpha.
I will follow a tip that someone else shared last month:

     C                     MOVE *ZEROS    WORK## 31
     C                     MOVELHDRSWP    WORK##
     C                     TESTN          WORK##     91
