Hi everyone,

I have a problem with loading some data. I have received unloads from a colleague together with the ddl he used to load the data in DB2 for LUW.

I am now tryimg to load it on z/os (db2 v10).

The column I am having problems with is defined as DECFLOAT(16) and it's the same in the load statement.

This is an example of the value in the unload:
Code:
8.609905020352781546811397557666214382E


And this is the error I get:
Code:
DSNU310I  #DB1O 008 13:17:53.61 DSNURCON - RECORD (1) WILL BE DISCARDED DUE TO '<column name>'
                      CONVERSION ERROR FOR <table name>         
                      ERROR CODE '29 - DECIMAL FLOATING POINT CONV ERROR'                 


I already tried DECFLOAT(34) but it results in the same error.
A colleague suggested I make it a VARCHAR and use CAST but I was hoping there may be another solution.

Code'd

Please use the Code tags to preserve spacing. Also take care to include the message codes, I think you have lost the second one.

Your source data does not look correct. After the E there should be the value of the exponent, with + or - to "scale" the number correctly..

Ok, thank you for your response. And I will use the code tags from now on. Kind of new to this.

I will ask if the (correct) data can be delivered again. Thanks again
