**Data conversion error ** in Quiz !

[Bob Comeau]

Just a shot in the dark, and at the risk of sounding obvious, but when you say the data contains some negative numbers do you mean
it has actual minus signs?  Zoned expects negatives to have the "overpunched" character in the last position.

Hope this helps.

Subject: **Data conversion error ** in Quiz !


Hi All,

I have come across a peculiar problem while running Quiz. Basically I
get data conversion errors. I investigated more, and found out that
these errors are coming up due to negative values in the data file.
PowerHouse Quiz is not able to read these values, and subsequently
convert them, and hence it is outputting 0.

The data type of this item in error is ZONED SIGNED 10. Has anyone come
across such an issue ? Is there any global PH setting to take care of
this ? I am unable to figure out what is going wrong, and where.

I am running PH 8.23.D7 on HP-UX/9000 SuperDome machine.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Amar
