RE: Problem with view that uses an SQL function created from a procedure within a service program

Sorry I'm late to respond, but I thought this group would be interested in
another option. A new SYSTOOLS function was part of the May 2020 database
PTF groups for 7.3 and 7.4: VALIDATE_DATA. It will touch all the data in a
file and tell you which rows, by RRN and column name, have bad numeric
data.

THAT did it
By placing the results into a work file, I was able to capture the

relative record numbers as well as the data

SELECT rrn(a), a.*
FROM VIEW a
I could then look at the results ? see the highest rrn and using STRDBG

against the procedure in the service program, use the >following query

SELECT rrn(a), a.*
FROM VIEW a where rrn(a) > 180944

I was able to step through the procedure and look at the individual fields
It was one of the numeric fields that had spaces in it
I just manually changed the value and now everything is working fine
