Hi,
I have a column in my table with data type as below
K_DEN DECIMAL(5,2)
while using in my cobol db2-program it is provided a corresponding data type of
ABC-K-DEN PIC S9(3)V9(2) USAGE COMP-3.
IN MY PROG I HAVE A CURSOR THAT SIMPLY SELECTS K_DEN FROM TABLE AND POPULATES IT INTO CORRESPONDING HOST VARIABLE
ABC-K-DEN.
in doing so it is failing with -304. the value in table was '+402.90' which i believe should be within the range.
can any body help on this please
regards,
Neelima SInha |

what is the DCLGENed cobol variable definition?
by the way, the error code is generated based on the possible size (range of values),
not the actual value.
yet another example why host variables should always be the DCLGENed variable
-
and not something dreamed-up by a coder that does not understand DB2 or bother to read the error descriptions |

neelima.sinha,
The cobol varibale definition seems ok.Are you sure the error is being generated for this particular field.Can you post the cursor definition and fetched field definition with the actual error produced while execution. |

When receiving an unwanted SQLCODE, you should always display the contents of field SQLERRMC.
This field contains precious information related to the error.
In your case, it would tell you which column in your SELECT is "out-of-sync" with your INTO. |
