Dear Experts,
I have 2 Fields with datatype DECIMAL shown as below in my DB2 table.
COLNAME COLTYPE LENGTH SCALE
------- -------- ------ ------
QTY1 DECIMAL 15 3
QTY2 DECIMAL 15 2
| Code: |
Values in these columns looks like
------------------ ------------------
-93058000.000 -99160692.50
-100000.000 -106557.94
-54000.000 -54183.33
-4403000.000 -4691746.32
-2489000.000 -2652227.25
-50000.000 -54261.84 |
When I retrieve the columns as it as, they are displyed as NULL and junk values in my output report.
How to write a SELECT Query to retrieve the values as it is as shown above. i.e converting them into CHAR.
Please suggest .. |

What are you using to select the data for the report?
Maybe that "JUNK VALUES" is packed decimal values? |

Hello,
Does this mean that all is well or is there still something that needs help?
