RE: Eval-corr

In debug try these commands and post the result:

EVAL DS_HRESD01.D1CHGAMT :X
EVAL D1CHGAMT :X

I find it strange that your output from DS_HRESD01.D1CHGAMT is -793.49
when it should be -0000000793.49

Thank you for your e-mail, Barbara, and yes, I verified in debug session
that DS_HRESD01.D1CHGAMT has a negative value right before eval-corr and
the correspondent field has positive value right after eval-corr:

ds_hresD01 = f_in210txt;
// DS_HRESD01.D1CHGAMT = -793.49 <---- from Debug
session
eval-corr ds_detD01 = ds_hresD01;
// D1CHGAMT OF DS_DETD01 = 0000000793.49 <---- from Debug
session

Is it possible to be some PTF's missing here? We are in V6.1

I forgot to add the DDS Description for the field, though; here it is:

D1CHGAMT 12P 2 COLHDG(' ' ' ' 'Charge')

It works fine for me. Here's my version of your program in debug:

1 D ds_detD01 e ds extname(testf:*output)
2=D D1CHGAMT 12P 2
3 D ds_hresD01 ds qualified inz
4 D D1CHGAMT 12 2
5 /free
6 DS_HRESD01.D1CHGAMT = -793.49;
7 eval-corr ds_detD01 = ds_hresD01;
8 return;

EVAL ds_detD01

D1CHGAMT OF DS_DETD01 = -0000000793.49

In your code, you are setting DS_HRESD01 by copying text to the data
structure.
ds_hresD01 = f_in210txt;
Have you verified in debug that DS_HRESD01.D1CHGAMT is -793.49 just
before the eval-corr?

If I had to guess, I'd guess that f_in210txt just has '000000079349',
but if the subfield is supposed to be negative, it should have the value

'00000007934R', ending in 'R', x'D9'. The x'D' in the last digit makes
the zoned value negative.

In my debug session:

EVAL ds_hresd01:c

DS_HRESD01:C = '00000007934R'

I'm guessing, maybe wrong, that yours would show

EVAL ds_hresd01:c

DS_HRESD01:C = '000000079349'
