Vernon, I don't think there is anything particularly "odd" about what you are seeing. The B data type is converted internally (in most cases) to packed - which is where your 12F comes from. Although quite why SQL shows you the packed version when you ask for the content in hex is anybody's guess. But then SQL does a lot of odd things. Because of the packed conversion there is no need for the "funny numbers" (sorry "binimals") you describe - the value is simply stored as an integer and the scaling taken care of during conversion to packed. True Integers (U and I in RPG) can't have decimals because they don't implicitly get converted to packed. Simple answer is don't sweat it - as long as the system gets the right answer .....
