Re: Parsing out a string

[CRPence <CRPbottle@xxxxxxxxx>]

  GIGO rocks!  I pretty much expect an import utility to just 
quietly stuff whatever junk into the database file, instead of 
failing with any error messages ;-)

  To determine what records did not import, use the ERRRCDFILE.  Or 
perhaps force the request to fail immediately upon the first data 
error using ERRLVL(0) versus asking the import to attempt ploughing 
through to the end of file per the default of ERRLVL(*NOMAX).  Using 
the ERRLVL(0), one record beyond the number of rows inserted\copied 
to the database file is the "record number" causing a problem.  Of 
course a "record number" may be ambiguous for a stream file with 
delimited "row" data; i.e. EOR embedded in a delimited field may be 
counted as a "record" for a utility recognizing only those EOR 
without regard to any field data delimiters.
