    fdeutsch - 2005-10-05

    Encountered the following error:
    To module . . . . . . . . . :   XLCRTR                                    
    To procedure  . . . . . . . :   EXTRACTDATA                               
    Statement . . . . . . . . . :   106200                                    
    Message . . . . :   Length of varying length variable is out of range.    

    One of the packed numeric fields in the file I was testing is defined as 22,4.  I shortened the field to 13,4 and had no further problem.

    I like this tool.  May I suggest improving error trapping so that the command issues an error message and the job ends?

      I have a patch that should be propagated to all mirrors by 6am CDT  that resolves this issue.

      I am using v5r1 version because we are at v5r2.  Will this patch be available for the v5r1 version?

      any patches I make will be applied to both versions of the package until support is discontinued for that version.
