FIX: Incorrect values may be returned when you use OLE DB Provider for DB2 in Host Integration Server 2004 together with SQL Server (892400)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Host Integration Server 2004

SYMPTOMS

When you use Microsoft OLE DB Provider for DB2 (OLEDB2) in Microsoft Host Integration Server 2004 together with Microsoft SQL Server, incorrect values may be returned. For example, the following SELECT statement may return a value of .0000:
SELECT $1.4980 FROM db2.RPUBS.RPUBS.TITLES
The statement should return a value of 1.4980.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the provider is converting the information to currency (DBTYPE_CY) incorrectly.
