DB2 for i5/OS, DB2 for z/OS, and Transformation Datatypes

DB2 for i5/OS, DB2 for z/OS, and Transformation Datatypes

DB2 for i5/OS and DB2 for z/OS datatypes map to transformation datatypes in the same way that IBM DB2 datatypes map to transformation datatypes. The Data Integration Service uses transformation datatypes to move data across platforms.
The following table compares DB2 for i5/OS and DB2 for z/OS datatypes with transformation datatypes:

1. When the Data Integration Service converts the DB2 Time data type to the transformation Date/Time data type, the date value is added to the time value.
2. DB2 for z/OS Version 10 extended-precision timestamps map to transformation datatypes as follows:
  • If scale=6, then precision=26 and transformation datatype=date/time
  • If scale=0, then precision=19 and transformation datatype=string
  • If scale=1-5 or 7-12, then precision=20+scale and transformation datatype=string
