Re: Handling decimal data errors at the field level

I guess it depends on how complicated you want to make things, but...

If you use data structures (like in my example) but read the file using the ILE C _Ropen(), _Rreadn(), _Rreadk, et al, functions, you can continue to use the DSes, but can get the null information.

These ILE C functions can be called from RPG pretty easily.

Scott,

As always, you have a way to do everything. Thanks. I'll have to figure
out how I can still get the null indicators to be set properly though,
because the IBM manuals indicate that when a record is read directly into a
data structure, the null indicators are not set. I think that's fixed in
v5r4 but I'm writing for v5r3 at least.

I'm sure I'll be doing something similar to your suggestion. Thanks again.

Best Regards,
