JR31610: XML INPUT STAGE CANNOT PROCESS DOCUMENT WHEN THE OUTPUT COLUMNS CONTAIN DECIMAL DATATYPES

APAR status

• Closed as requirement.

Error description

• The XML Input stage is unable to process XML documents when any
  of the output columns are of decimal type. The result of running
  the job is that a warning is issued to the job log for each
  decimal column, and the stage produces zero output rows.  This
  problem appears to occur only on the AIX operating system.  When
  the exact same job design and input data are used on Redhat or
  Windows, the job runs to completion with no warnings and
  produces the correct output rows.
  

Local fix

• Datatypes can be defined as character to bypass and access the
  data, however this is an extremely limited workaround since the
  proper datatype handling will not take place.
  

Problem summary

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• The issue is related to DSCAPI and not XML Pack code.
