Select this tri-state check boxes to tell the compiler
how to handle date, time, and timestamp database data types, variable-length
data types and DBCS graphic data types which are retrieved from externally
described files. (If you select none of these options, these data types
will be ignored, and will not be accessible to your program.)
If the Type conversion options box is unchecked, then you can
select one or more of the following check boxes:
- Date, time, timestamp
- Indicates that date, time, and timestamp database data types are to be
declared as fixed-length character fields and are accessible in the
program.
- Variable length
- Indicates that variable-length database data types are to be declared as
fixed-length character fields and are accessible in the program.
- DBCS graphic
- Indicates that DBCS-graphic data types are to be declared as fixed length
character fields and are accessible in the program.
- Note:
- Choose both Variable length and DBCS graphic if you
want variable-length DBCS graphic data types to be declared in your
program.
