numeric source fields have values that are greater than the maximum value
that can be stored in the target field example 99,999.99 cannot be moved
to
a field that is 999.99 long.


Could you use an externally-defined limits DS based on the target file, with
the problem fields set to *HIVAL? Reference the limits fields as host
variables in your SQL statement to identify the source-table rows with
problem fields.
