Data conversion errors

[Oran Shapitka]

Start eliminating fields until you find the offending field(s).  Then
evaluate the records using a define x char * n = ascii(offending_field) and
report on x to find what values are causing the errors.  A common culprit is
a date field that was initialized or updated from a non-PowerHouse program,
or a field that is defined as character and then redefined as being zoned.

Subject: Data conversion errors


While using QUIZ 7.29 on HP e3000 MPE/iX 5.5pp7 I get the above error
message when processing a file.  The process I am performing is to create a
SUBFILE which is an ASCII flat file copy of a dataset on the mainframe.  The
only elements that I believe could be causing these problems are numeric
values which I am formatting for the flat file and seem to contain
non-numeric data.

Is there a way to identify which row or element within row is causing this
problem?
