Oracle Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter for TCP CICS User Guide 2-9
Note: Oracle Tuxedo provides a field type named dec_t that supports decimal values within
VIEW s. The TMA TCP gateway product translates these fields into machine independent
representations of packed decimals. For example, dec_t(m,n) becomes
S9(2*m-(n+1))V9(n) COMP-3 . Therefore, a decimal field with a size of 8,5
corresponds to S9(10)V9(5) COMP-3 .
The following table summarizes the translation rules between C and IBM/370 data types.
LONG Translated to S9(9) COMP
FLOAT Translated to COMP-1
DOUBLE Translated to COMP-2
