Decimal Data Error In Field
youwhen relevant content isadded and updated. Following Follow AS/400 errors AS/400 question: Why do we get a decimal data error at first place? decimal data error occurred in as400 As per my understanding, When there are incorrect attributes (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 decimal data error in rpgle 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 help me with this question? Thanks.

This document provides information about finding and correcting decimal data errors. Resolving the problem It is not uncommon for programs pastel decimal error to have problems with decimal data errors when working with files core data decimal that originated on mainframes, non-IBM systems, and the IBM System/36. Program-described files are normally used on these

systems and can result in non-numeric hexadecimal values in numeric fields. It is also possible for a program on the IBM OS/400 or IBM i5/OS system to do http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/itanswers/decimal-data-error-5/ 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 writes it out making assumptions on what the correct value should be. You http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas8N1018444 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 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 t

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 during the processing of the file. Now, i need to find out decimal data error 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 ERROR: 1. Assigning non-numeric values to NUMERIC field. [NUMERIC validation will prevent this] 2. Trying to refer a varible, which is not stored/assigned with any value
