Invalid output in IDMS-provided CULPRIT reports (e.g. ,ZZZ)

Products

Issue/Introduction

IDMS provided reports written in CULPRIT can produce output that looks garbled.

For example, numeric fields that should be 0 may display as ,ZZZ,ZZ0.

 

Environment

Release : All supported releases.
Component: Reports.

Cause

All IDMS-provided CULPRIT reports are written with American style edit masks.

Therefore, if a site has installed CULPRIT with the profile value MONEYED=E (i.e. European) this error can happen.

Resolution

Add the clause MONEYED=A to the PROFILE statement in the SYSIN ddname.

Example:

//SYSIN    DD *
 DATABASE DICTNAME=SYSDIRL
 INPUT 32760 32760 UM(CULLJRNL)
 PROFILE MONEYED=A
 PARAM=NOLIST
JREPORT=008
