Betreff: CHAR for BIT DATA fld


I have a column defined as CHAR FOR BIT DATA or CHAR(13) CCSID 65535 NOT
NULL. Why? Because this is the way it is defined in another table from
DB2 (Windows) that I am trying to duplicate/populate. W/in my RPG pgm,
the following stmt generates the correct data: CREDGUID =
x'20080618090909123456202020';

My problem is I need to use a variable (TIMESTAMP + 3 chars) part of the
value used to populate the CREDGUID column. I have tried stringing
together using the '+' char but when the data gets into the column it is
truncated because the working variable is larger than the result
(CREDGUID). I also tried using the HEX SQL BIF without success.

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
