| Problem description: |
If the target Column is decimal and data is bound in the
application using Double data type (example in CLI:
SQL_C_DOUBLE; Example in Embedded : double var1; ),then Database
created with Number Compatibility Mode should respect
DECFLT_ROUNDING mode set for the database when doing conversion
from DOUBLE/FLOAT to DECIMAL.
Please, call into DB2 Support if you are not sure what
DB2_COMPATBILITY_VECTOR settings are done for your database |
