Not sure if it has something to do with your problem ...
But the data type of all Comment / Remarks columns within the catalog views
are changed in Release 7.1 from the CHARACTER Data Type to the GRAPHIC data
type with CCSID 1200.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

Betreff: 7.1 broke REMARKS column from JAVA getcolumns method
I've noticed that since we have been upgrading our partitions that the
column label text returned for any files from JAVA is now returning only
null values. According to
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/sql/DatabaseMetaData.html#getC
olumns(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String,
java.lang.String) GetColumns - Retrieves a description of table columns
available in the specified catalog and REMARKS returns a string containing
comment describing column. (may be null)
I've tested this using the following code. Luckily, we still have an old
partition on 6.1, so I could verify. I guess, I'll enter a PMR tomorrow.
import java.sql.*;
public class ListColumns {
public static void main(String args[]) { Connection con; Statement stmt;
String system = "XXXXXXXX"; String collectionName = "LIBRARY"; String
tableName = "FILENAME"; try { DriverManager.registerDriver(new
com.ibm.as400.access.AS400JDBCDriver());
con = DriverManager.getConnection ("jdbc:as400://" + system);
DatabaseMetaData dmd = con.getMetaData (); ResultSet res =
dmd.getColumns(null, collectionName, tableName, null);
System.out.println("List of columns: "); while (res.next()) {
System.out.println( " "+res.getString("TABLE_SCHEM")
+ ", "+res.getString("TABLE_NAME")
+ ", "+res.getString("COLUMN_NAME")
+ ", "+res.getString("REMARKS")
+ ", "+res.getString("TYPE_NAME")
+ ", "+res.getInt("COLUMN_SIZE")
+ ", "+res.getString("NULLABLE")
);
}
res.close();
con.close();
} catch(SQLException ex) {
System.err.println("SQLException: " + ex.getMessage()); } System.exit (0); }
}
