you can do CHAR(1) for BIT data

which prevents automatic conversion, the DB treats it as binary data.

SMALL INT uses two bytes, and allows values between -32.000 something to
+ 32.000
I need a field for values between 0 and 100, if possible using one byte.
One way to do it is to define as 1 BYTE binnary and overlap in a DS, but
if it is the only way I will use two bytes.

Wouldn't that be SMALLINT

You have SMALLINT, INTEGER and BIGINT in SQL. I don't know about
unsigned.

In RPG (and other languages) I can declare a 1 Byte number, signde for
-128 to 127 and unsigned 0 to 255, wich will be something like a "half
small integer".

But I clould not find a way to define such a field in SQL. Is it
possible?

TIA
