I am using a SQL query in REXX to fetch data froma DB2 table. DB2 column has been defined as DECIMAL(12,2).
SQLQUERY = "SELECT COLUMNA AS REXXVAR ",
"FROM TABLEA ",
"WITH UR ; "
ADDRESS DB2 "SQL" SQLQUERY
Here COLUMNA has been defined as DECIMA(12,2) and REXXVAR is the variable where I am fetching this value.
But I am not getting data in correct format.
eg:- If COLUMNA has value 45.67, then it is being fetched as 4567 without decimal place.
Please assist.
Thanks. |

| Then you need to divide by 100 to get the required result. |

But tool that I am generating would have random numbers. I can't hardcode by dividing by 100. Is there any REXX function to come to rescue ? |

As I understand this, the format of the data has been defined as DECIMA(12,2), which I take to mean that the field is 12 bytes long, with the last two bytes being the 2 decimal places.
I guess it's like the SAS format 12.2 or COBOL PIC 9(10)V99 where the decimal point is infered rather than physical.
The format is defined to one language / database but unknown to another, as DECIMA(12,2) is unknown to REXX. You need to adapt the second language / database to interpret the data format correctly.
Obviously if I have misunderstood your request, please feel free to clarify. |

that' s what we are telling You,
for what reason are You concerned about the random ******
the table definition is the decision maker here
divide by 100 full stop
or by a power of ten congruent with the number of decimal places |
