RE: How can i retrieve all field attribute through SQLstatement DescribeTable(SQLDA)

SQLLEN is simply an integer field containing the length of the field.

SQLTYPE (integer field) can be many things:
452=Fixed Length Character
453=Fixed Length Character Allow Null
456=Vary Length Character
457=Vary Length Character Allow Null
480=Floating Point
481=Floating Point Allow Null
484=Packed Decimal
485=Packed Decimal Allow Null
488=Zoned Decimal
489=Zoned Decimal Allow Null
492=Big Integer
493=Big Integer Allow Null
496=Large Integer
497=Large Integer Allow Null
500=Small Integer
501=Small Integer Allow Null
384=Date
385=Date Allow Null

Note: the list is not all-inclusive I suspect if you google SQL Type
site:ibm.com you'll find more info...  


Thanks,

DescribeTable(SQLDA)

1. I have tried to use Describe Table statement to retrieve file field
attribute, but i don't know what
     meaning    of  SQLLEN (because it is a binary field, how to
translate)
2. How i know when the field is DBCS
