RE: Problem with Data Decimal Error

As Ed indicated, the FIXNBR() keyword on the compiler is not being specified
when you recompile the problem. Currently there doesn't seem to be a way to
know if the problem was compiled with FIXNBR(). SO the speculation (remember
we're not there at your shop) is that you compiled the program previously
using the FIXNBR(*INPUTPACKED *ZONED) options. This time, it was not
specified. (By "you" I mean whoever compiled it previously.)

And this data structure was being used all along.  But when I made a
small modification, then the program starts having decimal data errors!
I am confused!! This has happened several times over the past few years
and I want to understand why!

The sub-field of a ds is not validated until you actually try to use it.

Yes, there was a problem.  It is usually a data structure that is not
getting initialized properly after the one line modification.  So I tack
an INZ on the data structure and everything is cool.  My question is why
didn't this show up before?

Aside from why this happened when you did nothing to it, have you looked
at the section of code?  Is there a data decimal error problem? 



Another question: when you comment the new line you added, so everthing
is just as before, and compile, does the data decimal error go away?  I
ask that because you may not be working with the same source as was used
to compile the working program.  I've had situations where a programmer
couldn t fix a problem so he just left the broken source code for the
next guy.

  I have a problem with Data Decimal Errors.  I have a working program

that normally runs with no problems.  I add one line of code and now

when it runs it encounters a data decimal error in a area of the program

that I have never modified.  This is really frustrating me.

  We are working in V5R1 with RPG/ILE.

 

Thanks ahead of time for all of your help.

 

Marvin
