Re: query management rookie question

To make the SELECT query generate a P(14,2) field, change the expression defining FinlTot to become:
DECIMAL(expression, 14, 2)

I have a query that receives a 4 byte branchnbr as a parameter and
then outputs data to a file. The fields in the query are branchnbr
(4, 0) sequence (2, 0) Description (25) FinlTot (14,2). The first
three fields come directly from the file being queried. FinlTot is a
result field. When I run the query using strqmqry the lengths stay
the same on the first three fields, but the length of Finltot is
changed from 14,2 to 20,2.

<<SNIP>>

But Long story short, is there a way
to stop query manager from changing the length in the first place?
