RE: Initialize fields

Booth, adding Inz w/o a value to a numeric field defined in the D specs
won't do anything different.

From Help w/in WDSCi:

"When the INZ parameter is not specified: Static standalone fields and
subfields of initialized data structures are initialized to their RPG
default initial values (for example, blanks for character, 0 for
numeric). "

To continue on, however:
"Subfields of uninitialized data structures (INZ not specified on the
definition specification for the data structure) are initialized to
blanks (regardless of their data type)."

I am wondering what field is failing? I wonder if his problem would go
away if the field is defined on an D-Spec and he adds the inz heyword.
Sometimes I've had the problem if I try to use a workfield before it has
been populated

Scott, they do define it as Iseries data types as they have many

Then I don't see why you'd get decimal data errors? Surely if they
have many other clients on the box, and they want to supply the data
in a compatible format, they'll supply data with valid decimal fields
that won't cause any errors!
