Hi,

I have a selet query like this.

SELECT FIELD1, FIELD2, FIELD3
from EMPLOYEE

I have to append 3 smallint fields to the select query with 0's like this.

SELECT FIELD1, FIELD2, FIELD3,
SMALLINT(0),
SMALLINT(0),
SMALLINT(0)
from EMPLOYEE

I know that SMALLINT(0) will not work.
Could you please suggest right syntax.
I do not like to use 2 steps here. So i am trying to do in SELECT itself.
Each ZERO added at the end should be of size SMALLINT.
Thats why i am trying to conert 0 to SMALLINT by using SMALLINT(0).

Thanks,
Chandramouli

SMALLINT is a DB2 datatype ... what do you mean by converting 0 to smallint ?

This looks simialar to this post. You probably don't need the CASE command.

Hi all,

Thanks foryour reply.
When i run in QMF, my command is running good.

Select fielda,SMALLINT(0),'0001-01-01' from employee

It is failing when i run this in a utility. the problem is with utility which i an using. I will get it fixed.
Thanks for your reply.
