Packed decimal datatype in DB2

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

We are trying to get the value from DB2 database table via Linked Server in SQL server 2016. The DB2 table has one column with the data type of "Packed Decimal in the Length of 11 & Precision of 5". when I query this column in SQL Server, I'm getting only the decimal value and not getting any precision value.

How do I get the actual value (via linked servers)which is exactly available in DB2 from SQL Server 2016?

What I have tried:

For eg. In DB2 the actual value is "5.67234" whereas in SQL Server giving the column value as "5.00000".

Would it be fair to say this is now resolved at Packed Decimal datatype in DB2[^]?
