Table Conversion Error TCE009015

I have a Table Conversion program that reads from a flat file on the IFS of an AS400. It runs on my local client when the flat file is in a windows folder, but when I try running it on the web client (with the flat file on the IFS) I get the following error in the jdedebug.log:
=====================================================
Dec 17 14:00:58.544544 DEBUG INIT0 - **** jdeDebugInit -- output disabled in INI file. TCEngine Level 1 /E812SYS/tcengine/tcinit.c : Conversion method is Row by Row.

TCEngine Level 1 /E812SYS/tcengine/tcrun.c : Conversion R5547CONV EG0010 done unsuccessfully. Elapsed time - 0.008000 Seconds.
====================================================

I am on JDE EnterpriseOne 8.12 and tools 8.96
I tried using P93081 to setup the TC program to use IBM-37 encoding but that didn’t work.
Any suggestions?

I'm not a table conversion expert, but it looks like you are trying to import character data in a numeric field (EDTY).
