Re: Suggestions for Creating Data Files w/Packed Decimals In a Limited Environment

[Jon Paris <jon.paris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Does the same problem exist if the files are DDS defined? Might be  
worth checking. Also you don't say what the error is when using the  
SQL defined tables - that would be nice to know.

In the past I have always done this kind of stuff using a simple RPG  
or COBOL program. In general I have found it takes less time than  
trying to convince a utility to do something it wasn't designed to do.
