Re: RPG integer vs SQL integer.

Vern,

Just for testing, I also wrote a small RPGLE code with:
DRlarge_inte E DS EXTNAME(test_int)

The compiler listing shows:
LARGE_INTE B(9,0)

What I'm missing here??

Regards,

DSPFFD does not know about SQL data types - only DDS data types - see the
post I just sent for something on B types.

The output file for DSPFFD has the WHFLDT field, and its values can be
these -

Type: B,A,S,P,F,O,J,E,H,L,T,Z,G,1,2,3,4,5,6,7

Not an I in the place!

It's strange but true - I have created a B(9 0) in DDS and put 10 digit
number there in SQL - something like that, anyhow.

Steve,

My mistake. I'm afraid that you are right....

Although V5R3's SQL Reference manual states that:

*Large integer *

A large integer is a binary number composed of 4 bytes with a precision

of

10 digits. The range of large integers is −2147483648 to +2147483647.


If I create a table with:
CREATE TABLE @PRUEBAS/TEST_INT (LARGE_INTE INT NOT NULL WITH DEFAULT)

A quick DSPFFD shows the LARGE_INTE field as 9B 0. Could it be that the
sign occupies a digit's byte?
