"Z" process error messages

\"Z\" process error messages

List,

A coworker is trying to convert into F4101/F4102 and F4301/F4311 using the vanilla "Z" processes.

Frequently, rows will error out w/"Blanks not allowed", as the error in the WC.
When we compare these rows to those that _did_ convert, they seem to be OK.

The "Blanks not allowed" message does _not_ tell us which column in the row is in error
(those cols tied to UDCs have "blank" entries in the UDC).

As the "Z" processes call C bsfn to actually do the conversion,
we can't look at the code to see what the error is.

Is there a "Big Book of Z errors" someplace, that tells which errors a Z process might send,
and what conditions cause them?

TIA

Re: \"Z\" process error messages

Gene,
I've seen this error a few years ago; a coJDELister suggested to actually "fill-in" the NULL values with the necesary blanks (there have to be three blanks for a size three field, two for ...). that did the trick.
It seems that OW doesn't recognize a NULL when it meets it :)
But you have to use DB Tools to actually see those NULLs, the UTB won't show'em!
Warm regards,
 
Re:

Good old fashioned, looking at EACH column on the rows found the F4101/F4102 reason.
It turns out all the rejected rows were kits, and had an issue w/the kit pricing column.

According to Help Desk, the B9 Z processes are supposed to have "better" error messages.

Thanks for the help & suggestions.
