As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

NUMERIC(8) and NUMERIC(8, 0) are the same for a routine parameter
declaration.
AFaIK the syntax diagram for the Packed and Zoned Binary Coded
Decimal data types across all SQL statements for the IBM i DB2 is
consistently defined such that a second argument for scale after a
specified precision is optional; the scale assumed by the SQL to be zero
when not specified:
<code>
.-(5,0)------------------------.
+-+-+-DECIMAL-+-+--+------------------------------+--+
| '-DEC-----' | | .-,0--------. |
'-+-NUMERIC-+-' '-(--integer--+-----------+--)-'
'-NUM-----' '-, integer-'
</code>
Note that both precision and scale are optional, as are the
parentheses to denote them, whereby the SQL assumes precision of five
and scale of zero.
