Re: data decimal errors - ignore the prev message - sorry for the html - damned inotes!

hey all, sorry for the last message with html crap.

I've got a csv that I import into a workfile and process.  It's created by
a 3rd party.

sometimes, they screw up and send invalid numeric data when I'm looking for
numbers.  I've been burned on this several times, and i'm looking for a
good and quick way of trapping for the error.

I use the CPYFRMIMPF to load it into my PF, and it doesn't care about
invalid numerics - it just loads the data without error.

my rpg program blows up on the read - no chance for the MONITOR in the
calcs.

can I change the program to 'ignore data decimal errors' and then use
TESTN?  or a MONITOR group?

any and all ideas are appreciated.

thanks,

rick
