DECFLOAT

[pankaj.puranik]

Hi

I am trying to load some data into CMOD 8.5.0.5 using Generic Indexer.
I get the following error.

.SQL0420N Invalid character found in a character string argument of the function "DECFLOAT"

I do not get what invalid character it is talking about?

Thanks
Pankaj.

What kind of file is it?

Take a look at the file with a hex editor.  Strange (yet unprintable) characters can find their way into data.  The most frustrating one I found was a vendor who was inserting tab characters at the end of some fields in the generic index file -- they were invisible when displayed in most text editors!
