I'm getting the values from an IBM AS/400 running DB2. The numeric values
I'm getting are defined as a fixed number of decimals (15,5) which is
fairly common on this type of machine. If you want to run a test then I
can arrange for you to run the client install that will put the ADO
provider on your machine.
Incidentally, I'm still running into situations where a get of a string
field's value will return the actual string in some instances and in
other instances it will return a numeric value that has to be fed to
peek_bstr(). Weird, huh? If you install the ADO provider for my
AS/400 then I might be able to provide some examples.
Please don't think that I want you to do all the work here! I want to
learn how it's all put together but I haven't been able to find a
starting point to figure out how the functions are put together. Can you
at least point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
