Re: JDBC CallableStatement, plain Program Call, and output parameters...

Sorry, Thorbjørn, but you won't be getting a COBOL PIC 9(5) to work
correctly. Please see
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r4/topic/rzajp/rzajpequiv
sqlcobol.htm. NUMERIC(5, 0) is equivalent to specifying

PIC S9(5)

which is exactly what you're seeing in the dump. Note the S in front of the
9(5). This means that you are requesting a leading sign byte which is
exactly what you're getting.

>From the page above, it looks like there is no way to pass a 9(5) to a COBOL
program using SQL. :(
Thanks! This conversion table should have been referenced in the external stored procedures section in the redbook I had been reading, would have saved me quite some time...

I love the fact that the table is in the "Coding SQL from inside Cobol" section. Somehow I don't think I ever would have looked in that section without a hint.

Now I just need to make a "hey, this works" stuff in some non-Java languages!
