Can somebody clarify what this exactly means? I've uploaded a TXT file to the mainframe and am using it as a data file which I've allocated in my focexec. My test file works perfectly, but this one that I received from the user does not. All fields match the lengths of the master and start in the designated positions. Any help would be appreciated. Thnx so much!

(FOC202) INTERRUPT. FLOATING VALUE OVERFLOW

An attempt to perform an arithmetic operation with non-arithmetic data has occurred. Error cause is indeterminate and possibly due to input of binary data which bypasses the normal character checking operation.

(FOC203) INTERRUPT. FLOATING VALUE UNDERFLOW

An attempt to perform an arithmetic operation with non-arithmetic data has occurred. Error cause is indeterminate and possibly due to input of binary data which bypasses the normal character checking operation.

Are there columns that are defined as numeric, but the data is not numeric, spaces, perhaps?

I believe this may have something to do with how I uploaded the file. It came to me as a TXT format and I think originally when I wrote the program I exported the file to Excel and then saved it as a PRN extension (text space delimited file). The program ran perfectly without errors. This time I uploaded it straight as a TXT file, forgetting how I had originally performed the upload. I will test this theory out and get back to all here.
