Nonrelational and Transformation Datatypes

Nonrelational datatypes map to transformation datatypes that the Data Integration Service uses to move data across platforms.

Nonrelational datatypes apply to the following types of connections:

Adabas

IMS

Sequential

VSAM

The following table compares nonrelational datatypes and transformation datatypes:

Nonrelational	Precision	Transformation	Range
BIN	10	Binary	1 to 104,857,600 bytes
CHAR	10	String	1 to 104,857,600 characters Fixed-length or varying-length string.
DATE	10	Date/Time	Jan 1, 0001 A.D. to Dec 31, 9999 A.D. Combined date/time value, with precision to the nanosecond.
DOUBLE	18	Double	Precision of 15 digits Double-precision floating-point numeric value.
FLOAT	7	Double	Precision of 15 digits Double-precision floating-point numeric value.
NUM8	3	Integer	Precision of 10 and scale of 0 Integer value.
NUM8U	3	Integer	Precision of 10 and scale of 0 Integer value.
NUM16	5	Integer	Precision of 10 and scale of 0 Integer value.
NUM16U	5	Integer	Precision of 10 and scale of 0 Integer value.
NUM32	10	Integer	Precision of 10 and scale of 0 Integer value.
NUM32U	10	Double	Precision of 15 digits Double-precision floating-point numeric value.
NUM64	19	Decimal	Precision 1 to 28 digits, scale 0 to 28 Decimal value with declared precision and scale. Scale must be less than or equal to precision. If you pass a value with negative scale or declared precision greater than 28, the Data Integration Service converts it to a double.
NUM64U	19	Decimal	Precision 1 to 28 digits, scale 0 to 28 Decimal value with declared precision and scale. Scale must be less than or equal to precision. If you pass a value with negative scale or declared precision greater than 28, the Data Integration Service converts it to a double.
NUMCHAR	100	String	1 to 104,857,600 characters Fixed-length or varying-length string.
PACKED	15	Decimal	Precision 1 to 28 digits, scale 0 to 28 Decimal value with declared precision and scale. Scale must be less than or equal to precision. If you pass a value with negative scale or declared precision greater than 28, the Data Integration Service converts it to a double.
TIME	5	Date/Time	Jan 1, 0001 A.D. to Dec 31, 9999 A.D. Combined date/time value, with precision to the nanosecond.
TIMESTAMP	5	Date/Time	Jan 1, 0001 A.D. to Dec 31, 9999 A.D. Combined date/time value, with precision to the nanosecond.
UPACKED	15	Decimal	Precision 1 to 28 digits, scale 0 to 28 Decimal value with declared precision and scale. Scale must be less than or equal to precision. If you pass a value with negative scale or declared precision greater than 28, the Data Integration Service converts it to a double.
UZONED	15	Decimal	Precision 1 to 28 digits, scale 0 to 28 Decimal value with declared precision and scale. Scale must be less than or equal to precision. If you pass a value with negative scale or declared precision greater than 28, the Data Integration Service converts it to a double.
VARBIN	10	Binary	1 to 104,857,600 bytes
VARCHAR	10	String	1 to 104,857,600 characters Fixed-length or varying-length string.
ZONED	15	Decimal	Precision 1 to 28 digits, scale 0 to 28 Decimal value with declared precision and scale. Scale must be less than or equal to precision. If you pass a value with negative scale or declared precision greater than 28, the Data Integration Service converts it to a double.
