Re: SQL7919 - SQL loads into a DS

it doesn't matter if you are using zoned fields for passing the data.
define the field as packed and let 'er rip. the system will have the
conversions from packed to zoned and you'll never even notice those
nano-seconds for the type conversion...


Thanks,

I am getting an SQL7919 - Data conversion required on Fetch with Reason 2.

The host variable is a numeric type that is different than the type of
the value being retrieved.

Here is what I'm doing...
I have a Procedure called FetchNextItem.

36 DFetchNextItem...
37 D PR n
38 D queryDS...
39 D LikeDS(C1ResultSet)

67 DC1ResultSet...
68 D ds
69 D C1mid...
70 D 2a
71 D C1mord...
72 D 6s 0
73 D C1mseq...
74 D 3s 0
75 D C1mprod...
76 D 15a
77 D C1mqreq...
78 D 11s 3
79 D C1mqiss...
80 D 11s 3
81 D C1mqall...
82 D 11s 3
83 D C1maprd...
84 D 15a

So the problem is that C1mord is defined as 6s 0 and the data coming from
the DB in sql is packed. Is there a way around this? I understand what
is happening, I'm just not sure what to do about it. I don't really want
to make C1mord packed because I'm using it with zoned fields everywhere
else. Would I have to do this with all of my numeric fields? Should I be

casting the variables on my select statement?
