HIS2004, Transanction Integration (TI) unsigned integer supp |
|
|
I am using COMTI with HIS2000 to access CICS on OS/390. CICS are
written in PL/I. I am evaluating HIS2004 for an upgrade, but there
seems to be problem with PL/I datatype representing an unsigned
integer, which are used extensively in the CICS program. HIS2004 has
dropped support for unsigned integer, so I have problem to find an
appropriate .NET or COM type for it. In HIS2000 for example I was using
a PIC 9(6) DISPLAY to represent a PL/I integer declared as PIC 9(6).
So, the question is why the support for unsigned integers were dropped
in HIS2004? I assume I can declare it as string a pad the area with
zeros, but that this is not very good solution. Any change of
re-supporting this datatype [Microsoft?] Any other suggestions?
Thanks

Unsigned data types were dropped because no unsigned numeric Windows data
types were supported. There have been many customers complaining about
this and a "fix" is available from product support. It adds back the
support for unsigned display numerics (which you are using), it does not do
anything about the potential problem of getting a negative number from the
Windows client (that problem will be addressed at a later date).
