A data conversion error occurs when a value is out of the valid range. For example, if a DB2 source column with a DATE datatype has a value of Jan 1, 1899, and the DB2 access service datatype conversion property DateResults is set to datetime4, a value error occurs because the DB2 DATE value cannot be expressed in an Open Client and Open Server CS_DATETIME4 datatype.
When the appropriate DateTimeConvertError or NumConvertError property
value is reject and DB2 returns results with
data values that are out of range for the associated DB2 access
service data conversion property value, the DB2 access service inserts
a header row into the result set immediately after the rejected
row. This results in an additional header row for every rejected
row in the result set.
Configuration properties control the behavior of an access service when it encounters data conversion errors.
For example, when converting DB2 DATE or TIME values to Open Client and Open Server CS_DATETIME values, an access service can insert default information, which is configured by data conversion error properties, for the unknown date or time.
For a description of data conversion error properties and associated values, refer to “Data Conversion Error properties”.
The following table indicates conditions that cause value errors.
