I don't know how that's possible. You mind sharing for posterity?


Copying the data into a clone of the original table should choke on the invalid data. It might stop on each bogus row, which would be a pain if there are a lot of them.

Since this is the RPG list, you could write an RPG program using I-specs with your column(s) as character. Manually move the input field into a numeric field and trap for the decimal data error.

Yeah that's been determined Justin. Now we are cleaning up. Any suggestions to a solution to my query?
