A Data Type Correspondence and
Return Value Sizes
The following tables contain 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.
Refer to the appropriate NonStop SQL/MP programmer’s guide for a complete list of
SQL data type correspondence. Also note that the return value sizes given in these
tables do not correspond to the storage size of SQL data types.
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.
Note. COBOL includes COBOL 74, COBOL85, and SCREEN COBOL unless otherwise noted.
