Following Follow AS/400 errors AS/400 question: Why do we get a decimal data error at first place? As per my understanding, When there are incorrect attributes how to handle decimal data error in rpg (i.e, character being moved to numeric or numeric being moved to character or data lengths not matching), that could cause this error. But, when you can actually do a move operation and it doesn’t throw any error, and you have %char built in functions and all to covert numeric to character, why should a decimal data error come? Can anyone please

We've found a useful way to leverage the fact that V5R2 allows you to specify a data structure (DS) as the result field of an I/O operation such as READ or UPDATE. Prior to V5R2, we could do this only for program-described files. (Remember those?) This new extension http://www.ibmsystemsmag.com/ibmi/developer/rpg/Ending-Those-Decimal-Data-Error-Blues/ provides some interesting possibilities. For one thing, it can provide a performance benefit, especially for batch jobs that process multiple records with many fields. Normally with RPG programs an I/O operation such as a READ requires the compiler to move each field individually from the file buffer to its storage location. You may have noticed this behavior when stepping though a program in debug. If you press F10 (step) on, say, a READ operation, the debugger "leaps" off to the I-specs and subsequent step operations work their way painfully through field after field-this behavior occurs even if all of the files fields are described in an externally described DS. However, using this new support, when a DS is specified as the result field, all of the fields are filled with a single move operation. This is more efficient than a series of individual moves. Another advantage of this support is that it provides more options for detecting and resolving invalid data items that may exist in our files. With a normal typ
This document provides information about finding and correcting decimal data errors. Resolving the problem It is not uncommon for programs to have problems with decimal data errors when working with files that originated on mainframes, non-IBM systems, and the IBM System/36. http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas8N1018444 Program-described files are normally used on these systems and can result in non-numeric hexadecimal values in http://www.rpgpgm.com/2015/04/coping-with-data-decimal-error-when.html numeric fields. It is also possible for a program on the IBM OS/400 or IBM i5/OS system to do this because program-described files are still available, especially for programs that have been migrated and are running in the System/36 environment. The following example takes advantage of the field descriptions in externally-described files to correct the problem. The program reads in each record and data error writes it out making assumptions on what the correct value should be. You are responsible for evaluating the results of using this program. Because it is necessary to make assumptions, the results might not be what you require. However, there is a very good chance the results will be satisfactory. Always keep a back-up copy of the file until you evaluate the results and are comfortable with the end result. In the case of zoned numeric fields, hexadecimal decimal data error values such as blanks, control characters, and unassigned hexadecimal values are normally converted to zeroes. When letters or special characters (for example, the ampersand) are encountered, the first hexadecimal character is converted to an F. For example, the letter A is C1 in hex, while the letter a is 81 in hex. Both are converted to F1, which is the number one. In testing, 8aA69 is converted to 81169. However, when certain values are encountered in certain positions in the field, the entire field can be converted to a zero value. For packed numeric fields, an incorrect value in any position normally causes the entire field to be converted to a zero value. One exception was noted in testing. A 10-digit packed field requires a 6-byte field, and the first position of the first byte is not used. An incorrect value in that first position still produced a correct converted value. All other testing resulted in a zero value being produced. To create and run the program to correct your data, you should do the following: 1. Make a copy of the file so you can examine the resulting changes. To avoid accidentally updating the production copy, use a different name for the copy. For example, if the original name is ORDDET, the copy could be ORDDETX. Note: Ensure you are not using an existing file name in this case. It is also sug
April 29, 2015 Coping with data decimal error when read file I am sure we have experienced running a program when it errors with "Decimal-data error occurred", RNQ0907. After analyzing the program I would find that the error is caused by bad data in a field in the input file. Yes, I will correct the bad data, but I might want to have the program continue using a default value and create a dump that can be used for analysis later. Examples of creating dumps can be found in the post: Producing a dump from programs. How can I flag the record as having an error, give the numeric field a default value, and continue processing? First let's start with our file, TESTFILE. It contains two fields, see below: The program will only error if the field containing the bad data is used. A R TESTFILER A FLD1 3P 0 A FLD2 5A I put blanks into FLD1, the numeric field, of the second record of the file: FLD1 FLD2 1 ONE TWO 3 THREE All I am going to do is to create simple RPG program to read TESTFILE and output to the display, using RPG's DSPLY operation code, the values of the two fields, see below. If you are not familiar with all free RPG line 1 denotes that TESTFILE is being for only input. 01 dcl-f TESTFILE ; 02 dow (1 = 1) ; 03 read TESTFILER ; 04 if (%eof) ; 05 leave ; 06 endif ; 07 dsply ('Record = ' + %char(FLD1) + ' ' + FLD2) ; 08 enddo ; 09 *inlr = *on ; Which when I run this program the output will be: DSPLY Record = 1 ONE Decimal-data error occurred (C G D F). I can take the option "D" to create a dump, and the program ends. If I did not need FLD1 I would just remove it from line 7, see below. Now when the program runs it does not error as FLD1 is not used. 07 dsply ('Record = ' + FLD2) ; So what approaches are there to stop the program erroring and continue? The first approach I tried was using the *PSSR subroutine. This subroutine is only executed when an error occurs, any error. It is just coded like any other subroutine, the only difference is the second parameter with the ENDSR operation code, line 14. 01 dcl-f TESTFILE ; 02 dow (1 = 1) ; 03 read TESTFILER ; 04 if (%eof) ; 05 leave ; 06 endif ; 07 dsply ('Record = ' + %char(FLD1) + ' ' + FLD2) ; 08 enddo ; 09 dsply ('End of pgm') ; 10 *inlr = *on ; 11 begsr *PSSR ; 12 dump(a) ; 13 dsply ('Oh no! I am in *PSSR') ; 14 endsr '*CANCL' ; In this example the second parameter is not really optional. If it is blank control passes back to the point where the error happened, and an exception error occurs. The second parameters gives
