Problem description: | |
Accessing an external table in fixed format may incorrectly return SQL20570N if a DECIMAL data type field length is the same as the column length. Here is an example of the issue: $ db2 "select * from external '/files/ext_txt2'(c1 decimal(8,4)) using (format fixed layout(c1 decimal bytes 8))" C1 ---------- SQL20570N The statement failed because the number of rejected rows exceeds the limit set in the MaxErrors option value. Log file name: "GRAPE120.DB2INST1.SYSTET62030.ext_txt2.00000007.0000021.log". SQLSTATE=22551 $ db2 "select * from external '/files/ext_txt2'(c1 decimal(7,4)) using (format fixed layout(c1 decimal bytes 8))" C1 --------- SQL20570N The statement failed because the number of rejected rows exceeds the limit set in the MaxErrors option value. Log file name: "GRAPE120.DB2INST1.SYSTET45340.ext_txt2.00000007.0000025.log". SQLSTATE=22551 File content: cat ext_txt2 456.1234 log file: bad #: input row #(byte offset to last char examined) [field #, declaration] diagnostic, "text consumed"[last char examined] ---------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- 1: 1(8)[1, NUMERIC(8,4)] missing field - fillRecord not enabled, "456.1234"[0x0a] though this works: $ db2 "select * from external '/files/ext_txt2'(c1 decimal(7,3)) using (format fixed layout(c1 decimal bytes 8))" C1 --------- 456.123 1 record(s) selected. | |
