Testing a field in db2.

Post by arrbee » Sun Jun 11, 2006 11:31 am

Hi,

A field is modified from Decimal(9,2) to Decimal(11,2). After successful compilation, ran the JCL successfully with zero return code. How to find whether the particular field is (9,2) or (11,2).

TIA.

Hi Arrbee,

If I am understand your question correctly. You want to know whether your program is using old DCL variable or NEW DCL variable.

If so, You can know this by comparing DCL copy book change date
and compile jcl change date.

If not, Please allobrate the question.


Thanks,
Krishna
