How can i know if the field is packed decimal (13,2) or DBCS
Read the SQL Reference--especially Appendix C. SQL Descriptor Area (SQLDA). It has the answers you seek.
midrange.com
a. packed decimal - IF LENGTH(13,2)
system only return SQLTYPE 484=Packed Decimal
SQLLEN BINARY(4) , how to
translate to integer
484/485 Packed decimal Precision in byte 1; scale in byte 2 488/489 Zoned decimal Precision in byte 1; scale in byte 2SQLLEN is a SMALLINT therefore 2 bytes. Simple division will separate the precision and scale.
b. fixed lenght - IF DBCS
system only return SQLTYPE 452=Fixed character
SQLLEN 5 how to
distinguish DBCS and SBCS
The SQLDATA field will contain the CCSID of the data. Use this to determine whether SBCS, DBCS, Mixed, or Hex.
