Decimal Data Error Rpg Iv

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 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 error in as400 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 decimal-data error occurred in as400 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 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, 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: *Input) DoU %EOF(BadData); Read BadData inputData; // Read into DS If %EOF(BadData); Leave; EndIf; records += 1; total += amount; date = %Date(numDate: *YMD); EndDo; The only difference is that the program uses a

March 23rd, 2010, 06:59 AM I have a RPGLE program (PGMR1) which is being called in a batch Job (JOB1). The RPGLE reads all records from decimal data error an input file INPF1 (having 5 fields – INF1 – INF5 – all character fields) and writes to an output file (having 5 fields – INF1 – INF5 – all numeric fields) depending on some conditions. I am moving the input file character data to output file numeric data. Now if any of the input file field contains junk value then the RPGLE program fails and the job goes to message wait. My question is as a support team member how can I handle this job (without killing it) so that it ignores the erroneous record and processes all other records properly?? Thanks in Advance....

Monitor for the unvalid data and take the appropriate action. If you wish to ingore the field and process the rest of the fields: Monitor Eval NumOut1 = %Dec(NumInput1:5:0) // Length is 5,0 On-Error Eval NumOut1 = *Zero Endmon Or if you wish to ignore the record: Monitor Eval NumOut1 = %Dec(NumInput1:5:0) // Length

Question Posted / ddd 6 Answers 15842 Views CTS, I also Faced E-Mail Answers Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback Answer / narendra If you have defined any field as numeric and the value being inserted into that field is character then system will throw the message "decimal data error". Is This Answer Correct ? 27 Yes 5 No Answer / madhusudhan For the above answer posted by Narendra, there are 19 People who told yes, but did they test this or verify. Create a Char variable of Lenth 5 and Numeric variable of lenth 5 and see the result . D Num1 S 5 P 0 D Char1 S 5 A INZ('ABCDE') C MOVE Char1 Num1 C Num1 DSPLY Num1 will not give a Decimal Data error , instead it gives the values Num1 = 12345. If you use eval C EVAL Num1 = Char1 Eval will fail during compilation itself. As per my analysis , Decimal Data error occurs when junk values or special characters are passed to Numeric variable. ( Ex : !, @ , #.$) . For testing Intialize the above variable Char1 with atleast one special character and just see the result. This is only one example which i have given , and i heard that during Parameter passing also this occurs , but dont know in which scenerio , if anyone knows more on Decimal Data error, kindly plz post. Is This Answer Correct ? 18 Yes 0 No Answer / priya Decimal data error occurs primarily when numeric field receives invalid values/numbers. The same goes for the case of parameter passing. When the file is opened by a program and the record containing the invalid data is read, you will not get an error. But if the field containing the invalid data is read in the program, and some arithematic operation is performed with that value it gives decimal data error. For eg by being the Factor1 of a
