Datatype Conversion properties

Datatype Conversion properties control how a DB2 access service converts target database datatypes to Open Client and Open Server datatypes before sending the data to the client application.

The subsection heading for these properties must appear in the service library configuration file as: {Datatype Conversion}

BinaryResults DateResults DateTimeResults DecimalResults FloatResults GraphicResults Int2Results Int4Results RealResults TimeResults TinyIntResults XNLChar XNLVarChar

To provide portability across DBMSs, the names of the configuration properties refer to generic datatypes. The description includes specific target database datatypes to which these generic datatypes correspond.

NoteDatatype conversion properties control conversion of outgoing data from the DBMS. These properties do not control conversion of incoming data from client applications.

For information about converting incoming data from client applications, see Chapter 4, “Converting Datatypes.”
