D Data Type Correspondence
Table 66: Integer Types, Part 1 contains the return value size generated by HP language compilers
for each data type. Use this information when you need to specify values with the Accelerator
ReturnValSize option. These tables are also useful if your programs use data from files created by
programs in another language, or your programs pass parameters to programs written in callable
languages.
Note that the return value sizes given in these tables do not correspond to the storage size of SQL
data types. For a complete list of SQL data type correspondence, see:
• SQL/MP Programming Manual for C
• SQL/MX Programming Manual for C and COBOL.
NOTE: COBOL includes COBOL 74, COBOL85, and SCREEN COBOL unless otherwise
noted.
If you are using the Data Definition Language (DDL) utility to describe your files, see the Data
Definition Language (DDL) Reference Manual for more information.
