Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: all platforms. **************************************************************** PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: This problem stems from give a NULL string expression for INTEGER varaible/ But these are binary values and we can not give character expression here. **************************************************************** RECOMMENDATION: Use patch from Unified source code. ****************************************************************
Problem conclusion
In Unified code we are not loading nullable INTEGER values using loader type iNTEGER. We use packed decimal type. The field can be a BLANK to load a NULL. The BLANK field is not a legal decimal value anyway.
Temporary fix
