Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: All File Manager DB2 component users.        *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: DB2 allows the external format for      *
    *                      TIME columns to be specified in the     *
    *                      DSNHDECP module (ISO, JIS, USA).  In    *
    *                      FM/DB2, the display format for TIME     *
    *                      columns can be set in the FM/DB2        *
    *                      systems options (ISO, JIS, DSNHDECP     *
    *                      setting).  The combination of DSNHDECP  *
    *                      setting USA and FM/DB2 setting ISO is   *
    *                      not honored by the FM/DB2 editor - the  *
    *                      data is erroneously displayed in USA    *
    *                      format rather than the specified ISO    *
    *                      format.  A similar problem occurs for   *
    *                      the combination of DSNHDECP setting     *
    *                      USA and FM/DB2 setting JIS.             *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
    ****************************************************************
    There is a code datatype mis-match, resulting in a comparison
    failure.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The FM/DB2 editor has been changed to display TIME column data
    in the format specified in the FM/DB2 option - "External Format
    for TIME Data Type Columns".
