  When it is nullable,(i.e the ind value = '?'),the decimal field stores low values.  


What do you mean by "low values"?


  So,my layout definition of reading that value as decimal(15,0) does not work (rows would go into ET)  


  Neither am I able to read as char and cast it , as rows would go into UV for failure in conversion from char to numeric function.  


How about:

.FIELD x * DEC(15,0) NULLIF y = '?';
.FILLER y * CHAR(1);


Could you post your current .LAYOUT?
