Status: Closed |
DB2 LOAD ZONEDDECIMAL OPTION ADDS SUPPORT FOR 0X3 AND 0X7 FOR POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE HALF-BYTE SIGN VALUES RESPECTIVELY |
| product: |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2 |
| Problem description: |
Currently, DB2 LOAD's zoneddecimal option only supports the
following half-byte sign values:
+ = 0xC 0xA 0xE 0xF
- = 0xD 0xB
But in ASCII-encoded environment, a zoned decimal number uses
0x3 and 0x7 for positive and negative half-byte sign values
respectively. This APAR adds support for 0x3 and 0x7 to support
such encoding. |
