hello @ all,
my problem:
i want to load a sequentiell file in a OS/390 DB2 using the LOAD-utility.
in the file there are fields in the format '0000000000000,00+' (zoned,17 characters).
the DB2-load utility allows only the format '+0000000000000,00'. i tried this with 'decimal external (15,2)'.
Does somebody knows a solution for this problem, because i don't want to change my input-file.

thank you

Hi

Did you try the load with decimal zoned?

hi walter,
thanks for your reply.
yes i tried also with decimal zoned, but it didn't work. I have problem with the description in the manuel. the format is shown as "znznzn....,sn". where n is a digit of 4 bits of a byte or something like that.
Maybe they mean the hex value (X'1' from X'F1' in ebcdic).
