Decimal Data Error In As400

Following Follow AS/400 errors AS/400 question: decimal data error occurred in as400 Why do we get a decimal data error at first place? As per my understanding, When there are incorrect attributes (i.e, character being moved to numeric or numeric being moved to character or data decimal data error in rpg 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 help me with this question? Thanks. Asked: February 6, 20138:18 AM Last updated: February 7, 20132:49 AM Related Questions AS/400 -

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 how to handle decimal data error in rpg originated on mainframes, non-IBM systems, and the IBM System/36. Program-described files are normally used decimal data error in cobol 400 on these systems and can result in non-numeric hexadecimal values in numeric fields. It is also possible for a program
Rpgle Monitor Decimal Data Error
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 http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/itanswers/decimal-data-error-5/ 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 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. http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas8N1018444 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 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:

I read a file and moved the decimal data 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 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 values. [Initialization will prevent this] If there are anyother possible scenarios which would cause the error, kindly share the same. Last edited by kpandian; August 10th, 2011, 10:51 PM.

actually the error trapped by AS/400 machine at run time when it identifies a difference in the "decimal format" of a parameter in the calling and called programs. This difference is identified only when we try to assign the value of a numeric field to a different numeric type field. It may remain hidden and go un-noticed during testing if that specific variable is never used in the called program.Given Example for Decimal Data Error: -****************** Calling Program *****************************************Program :- DECIMAL1 Dnum1 s 5S 1 c CALL 'DECIMAL' c parm num1 c* c eval *inlr = '1' ****************** End of data ********************************************Program :-DECIMALc *entry plist c parm num1 5 0 c Eval num1 = num1 + num1 c eval *inlr = '1' ****************** End of data ********************************************Then Following Errpr occors Decimal data error. Function check. MCH1202 unmonitored by DECIMAL at statement 0000000003, instruction X'0000'. Decimal-data error occurred (C G D F). Decimal-data error occurred (C G D F).
