•Sometimes,
the data on the AS/400 is not the data you want on the
client
–Example,
Java does not like Decimal as they are an immutable type. If
the target needs to manipulate the data, plan on doing
a cast in the select statement to a better numeric type
–Decimal(3,0)
might map to smallint
–Decimal(12,2)
might map to double
–Decimal(6,0)
might map to integer
