Re: C# code help

I am a c# newbie. could use some help.

I'm testing a stored procedure I created on the iSeries to be sure it will
return the data to pc network programmers when called.

Below is the code.

The program is working fine to display the data fields until I added the
code for dr.GetiDB2Integer(5).ToString()
This one happens to be a packed data field size 13.2 on the iSeries
database and I haven't found anything on the internet addressing packed
data with regard to C#.
I have a feeling I will have to change this to signed numeric.

The file data fields are defined below also

Any help would be appreciated.

dr.GetiDB2Char(4).Value,
dr.GetiDB2Integer(5).ToString());
}
dr.Close();
cmd.Dispose();
cn.Close();
}
}
}
