Broker (resides in USS) is receiving a message from OS/390. When it tries to parse the message into MRM, it throws an exception.

The parser encounters this error when it tries to parse a particular field which is packed decimal, S9(13)V99 COMP-3. This is defined as a Packed Decimal in the MRM with Length count of 8 and Signed set to Yes.

The following is the exception trace:-

(0x1000000)ConversionException = (
(0x3000000)File = '/build/S210P/src/cpi/bsutils/datacnv.cpp'
(0x3000000)Line = 5219
(0x3000000)Function = 'DataCnv::ValidatePackedDecimal'
(0x3000000)Type = ''
(0x3000000)Name = ''
(0x3000000)Label = ''
(0x3000000)Text = 'CPI Converter Input Data Invalid'
(0x3000000)Catalog = 'WMQIv210'
(0x3000000)Severity = 3
(0x3000000)Number = 5505
(0x1000000)Insert = (
(0x3000000)Type = 5
(0x3000000)Text = 'packed decimal, no sign found '
)

Lung,
Looks like your fields are not aligned properly, Pl verify the field length for other elements that appear before this COMP-3 field in your copybook.

Thanks for the response, Kiran.

I've verified the length in my MRM and in the copybook, all of them seems to be proper.

I'll check again manually... Anyway can there be any other reason? FYI, I didn't set any virtual decimal points in my MRM but that shouldn't matter, right... And S9(13)v99 IS 8 bytes right?

Oh no, that matters!
As per your PIC clause you should have following settings:
Type: Packed Decimal
Length: 8
Signed: Yes
Virtual Decimal Points: 2

Guess what... It turns out that the culprit is not related to the packed decimal field after all! There's a field before it that has repeating occurences... And this turn out to be reason why the parser failed.

Before this I defined the repeating field in the Connection tab (max occurs) but it turns out I need to define the repeat count in the CWF tab instead to get it to work properly...

Anyway, thanks Kiran!
