No "cents" when getting data from DB2

[rjbosch]

I am using Base to fetch information from DB2 tables via ODBC, located remotely on our company's mainframe.

I notice however that fields that have been defined as DECIMAL(15,2) all are returned with the cents rounded down. In other words: an amount of 123.57 is returned as 123.00

How can I get the pennies back? CASTing and CONVERTing does not do the trick.

Another application I use the same ODBC driver with has no problems with it. It is just OOo that has this.

The best what you can do try JDBC connection, ODBC connection to DB2 has some problems which not solved in OOo Base for a long time.

Thanks,
I've tried JDBC and that works fine; decimals are there.

Unfortunately I stumble across many other issues now. It is not possible to get a working forms with a subform. It is possible to build it alright, but no matter what I try (an not matter how thoroughly I check if I did everything OK) the subform won't get populated with anything. It remains empty.
Also, as master form, I can't use a query (i.s.o. a table) since then the wizard doesn't even let me choose the information for the subform.

Looks like OOo can't work properly with DB2 irrespective of the driver, so I will have to look elsewhere.

Hello

You better use OOo3.1.1 or OOo3.3 RC 8.
