I read a file and moved the value of one of its NUMERIC [Eg.FLD1] field to a working variable [Eg. WFLD1] in COBOL. i.e MOVE FLD1 to WFLD1 [both fields are of numeric & length is same] But, my program has received MCH1202 http://www.code400.com/forum/forum/iseries-programming-languages/cobol-aa/8853-causes-of-decimal-data-error during the processing of the file. Now, i need to find out the various possibles scenarios which can cause the DECIMAL DATA ERROR i.e MCH1202 in a COBOL program. so that i can avoid those scenarios. Kindly help me in this regard.

I have also implemented the same like solution. But, i just found that the following are the scenarios which will cause the DECIMAL DATA ERRO
download here. We have all encountered decimal data errors at some time or another. The biggest difficulty they present is that, by the time they have been detected, no recovery is possible. Or to be more precise, no practical recovery http://www.itjungle.com/fhg/fhg031715-story01.html is possible. In my previous tip, I mentioned that one of the benefits of data structure I/O is that you can avoid decimal data errors. In this tip I'm going to show you how and why that works. The code package associated with this tip contains three test programs that demonstrate the different scenarios. The first is a straightforward RPG program with no defenses. It reads a file in a loop and will encounter decimal data data error errors. The second is intended to show the basic use of DS I/O. It still has errors but they are subtly different. The third program demonstrates how to extend the program to fully defend against such errors. See the Readme.txt file for instructions on how to install the source code on your system. One factor that adds to the difficulty of handling data decimal errors is that that they may occur on a READ or CHAIN operation, decimal data error making it difficult to determine exactly which field is in error. This happens because the system detects the error while moving the data from the buffer to the internal variable. When we use DS I/O, the entire record is moved as if it were a large character field. In other words the numeric data is not differentiated. Since numeric fields are not differentiated they can't cause errors! Let's walk through the process of running each of the three programs so that you can see the differences between them. First, here are relevant portions of program DATAERRS1. FBadData IF E DISK DoU %EOF(BadData); Read BadData; If %EOF(BadData); Leave; EndIf; records += 1; total += amount; date = %Date(numDate: *YMD); EndDo; If you run this program, you will receive an error when reading the second record. Using F1 to look at the actual details of the error reveals that it occurred on one of the compiler-generated lines associated with the READ. This is even more obvious when you run the program in debug. If you tell the program to go (option G) you will find a similar error occurs on the reading of the third record. In both cases, determining which field is in error is problematic and the only valid option is to cancel the program. Now run program DATAERRS2. FBadData IF E DISK D inputData E DS ExtName(BadData: *In
