/tpu question

G'day Mike

First of all, PowerHouse CAN process NULLs correctly if the PHD has been set
to allow NULL values rather than replacing them with blanks or zeroes.

Second, try $SUBMIT/options jobname/PARAM=(parameter list)

I have to assume you are using OVMS when you refer to EDT and TPU.

	Hey folks!!!
	 
	Here my problem.....i'm converting data files to inlcude the
century.  My original file had a six digit char date, and now i'm trying to
put the data back in by adding 19 to the existing char's and putting
(nconvert) them in a zoned-u field.  So far so everythings has been working
fine till now.  The file i'm trying to convert now (which was written by
dibol, basic, or cobol...take your pick), has "null's" instead of a date for
certain records.  PowerHouse sees these null as actual characters......it
will not display them, but if i concantanate 19 with the existing date
value, and simply edit the subfile, i see the null values.  Powerhouse knows
there is something there, but doesn't know what it is, and if i do nconvert,
i get data conversion erros.  The best we've come up with is replacing the
null with acutall spaces within TPU.  Now this would work fine if we were
converting these files interactively, but we run a batch job in the middle
of the nite.  Does anybody know how to pass parameters to a edit/tpu command
do such a thing.
	 
	Thanks in advance
