Re: Decimal data errors

So how can you reliably read their data unless using same
program described definitions? This is a common problem
for S36ee systems where external definitions were created
but either wrong or not maintained.

Given that their application runs in S36 emulation mode,
I'm inclined to think they're running program-described,
and that the meta-data in the file doesn't match what
they're actually doing with the affected fields. In which
case, the last thing we want to do, especially with the
packed-data-in-zoned-field situations, is to "fix"
anything. Other than maybe the meta-data itself.
