I'm running a failry simple FEX in which I'm extracting several data fields which are alphanumeric, however, I have just received the following error message and am not sure how to resolve it:

(FOC200) INTERRUPT. DATA EXCEPTION
(FOC1024) INVALID OCCURS FIELD VALUE : AD020SG


The fields in question are basically fields for City, State and Zip Code, coming out of a VSAM file. If anyone has a suggestion or two about how to work on this, I would be most appreciative. Thanks in advance!

Have you verified your master against the VSAM file, i.e. COBOL FD,to make sure that the total length is ok via a CHECK FILE?

Oftentimes, you will get errors because the master doesn't describe the data exactly and you get off column and your fex doesn't blow up until it gets to a field that it views as having invalid data, like a bad sign for a packed field.

So the first thing I would do would be to compare the COBOL definition against the master. Remember it is the actuals that you are looking at.

The next thing is to print a few selected columns before and after what you think the problem area is. You can use READLIMIT to start with and increase it with each succeeding test.

Is there an OCCURS in your master?

I hope these suggestions help you.

Hi, Ginny, and thank you for replying.

I am already in the process of finding where the problem appears to be - it looks like it might be one of the segments of the MFD in question. There have been several files where I work that have been changed slightly, and it be this is one that was, but I wasn't informed. I'll address it from this perspective and see what I can figure out.

Thanks again!
