BINGO

I thought I read somewhere that DECIMAL and NUMERIC were somewhat
interchangeable
Well - I guess not - 10 dope laps to me on this one

I want to thank EVERYONE who replied on this


I said that because, yes, I had read it in one IBM reference. But,
I rechecked the data types under the CREATE TABLE reference and it states
that DECIMAL is packed-decimal while NUMERIC is zoned-decimal.


Sincerely,
