Integer

An integer (INT) is a 4-byte integer SQL data type.

Host Variable Formats

OpenESQL and DB2 ECM

All of the following definitions are valid for host variables to map directly onto the INT data type.

01 longint1      PIC S9(9)  COMP.
01 longint2      PIC X(4)   COMP-5.
01 longint3      PIC S9(9)  COMP-5.
01 longint4      PIC X(4)   COMP-X.
01 longint5      PIC 9(9)   COMP-X.
01 longint6      PIC S9(9)  BINARY.

For the most efficient access, we recommend that you declare integers as COMP-5.

OpenESQL JVM Managed Runtime

In addition to the definitions valid for OpenESQL, the following definition is also valid for the OpenESQL JVM Managed Runtime:

01 longint9      binary-long.
