Just a wild guess here, is the SUM statement looking for a signed field? From the DFSORT manual: An invalid PD or ZD sign or digit results in a data exception (0C7 ABEND); 0-9are invalid for the sign and A-F are invalid for the digit. For example, a ZDvalue such as 3.5 (X'F34BF5') results in an 0C7 because "." (X'4B') is treated as an invalid digit. ICETOOL's DISPLAY or VERIFY operator can be used to identify decimal values with invalid digits. ICETOOL's VERIFY operator can be used to identify decimal values with invalid signs.
