Chris has a few ideas, but we don't really understand the question.  Can
you post your record format and a couple lines of code plus the exception?

He should get the field description for that field off of his RecordFormat
and see what type it is. If it's a CharacterFieldDescription, then a String
should be the right thing to use. But since a CHAR(1) on the 400 can mean
just about anything (all they have is CHAR and BIN basically) then it is
possible that the CHAR(1) field is defined as something else... possibly a
HexFieldDescription?

Has anybody ever had any problems useing a keyed read with JTOpen when one
of the key fields in the file is a CHAR of length 1 in the DB2 file?

I keep getting a casting error on my file.read(key) method.  What is seems
like is because the its a CHAR of len 1 java thinks its a type char, but I
can't put type char in the key because key needs to be an array of objects
and primitave types are not objects.  I tried using types Character and
String but both give me the casting error, anybody have any ideas?
