RE: Eval-corr

[Florin Todor <ftodor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Peter,

IN210TXT has one field (named, also, in210txt) of 330 length (alpha) and it is populated via FTP.

ED210D01 has many fields, but the one we are talking about, D1CHGAMT, has the description
D1CHGAMT      12P 2       COLHDG(' ' ' ' 'Charge')

Barbara and Chris suggested the cause for my issue; I didn't have a chance to test Chris solution yet, but as soon as I do it I will post the results.

 

Thank you
 
 
Florin Todor

Hi Florin,

It would also help to see the definition of the IN210TXT and ED210D01 files.
