This came up because Chuck mentioned Hex fields in relation to my
BINCHAR issues.
I've got a post on the JAVA400-L List, regarding something I discovered
about Hex fields in relation to my JDBCR4 project, but so far no responses.
Does anybody know of a way to tell a hex field from an alphanumeric
field, purely through the SQL metadata? As far as the metadata is
concerned, the records in QSYS2/COLUMNS look exactly the same for hex
and alphanumeric, and so does the metadata Squirrel presents in the
"Columns" tab, and yet an SQL fetch returns 8 characters for an 8-byte
alphanumeric field, but 16 hex digits for an 8-byte hex field.
