Re: DB2 insert with different column sizes

Hi Dave

It depends on what your objective is. Do you want to truncate the data in the alphanumeric field? Or does it merely contain whitespace at the end? Or do you want to ignore the failing insert and move on?

Truncating needs a substring() function, trimming of whitespace can be done via trim() and to ignore you need a continue handler on SqlState '22001'.


Kind regards,

Hello,

How do I get an insert to work when the alpha-numeric data from a DB2 table
column is too long for the field in the receiving physical file? Apart from
hard coding the length of course.

Thanks
