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 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 http://search400.techtarget.com/answer/What-is-a-Decimal-Data-Error 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 http://www.itjungle.com/fhg/fhg031715-story01.html 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 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 an input file INPF1 (having 5 fields – INF1 – INF5 – all character fields) and writes to an output file decimal data error (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 is 5,0 Eval NumOut2 = %Dec(NumInput2:5:0) // Length is 5,0 Eval NumOut3 = %Dec(NumInput3:5:0) // Length is 5,0 Eval NumOut4 = %Dec(NumInput4:5:0) // Length is 5,0 Eval NumOut5 = %Dec(NumInpu5:5:0) // Length is 5,0 Write NewRecord On-Error // do nothing if

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
