Hi, Bruce:
I seem to recall that your CLF product used the _ROpen, _RRead, _RWrite,
_RUpdate, _RClose, etc. APIs, and not "program described" files in the RPG
sense of the word?
All the best,
Mark S. Waterbury

No promises, but I know my CLF product of years ago supported NULL fields
even though using run-time program described files. I'll try to figure out
how I did that way back when...

Looks like my utility will never work on NULL capable fields.

Database Null Value Support
Note: For a program-described file, a null value in the record always
causes a data
mapping error, regardless of the value specified on the ALWNULL
---- end snip ----
Perhaps I can read the mapping error *DIAG messages and infer that the
columns are NULL. The question is whether the rest of the columns will
get populated or not. Time is so dear right now...
