FIXEDBIN returns a FIXED BIN value with precision and scale derived
from the source unless explicitly specified as parameters to the function.

'-,p-+----+-'
'-,q-'
- x
- Expression.
- p
- Restricted expression that specifies the total number of digits
in the result. It must not exceed the implementation limit.
- q
- Restricted expression that specifies the scaling factor of the
result. If q is omitted, a scaling factor of zero is assumed.
If both p and q are omitted, the precision of
the result is determined from the source according to this table:
source |
result |
FIXED BIN(p,q) |
FIXED BIN(p,q) |
FIXED DEC(p,q) |
FIXED BIN(r,s)
where r = min(M,1+CEIL(p*3.32))
and s = CEIL(ABS(q*3.32))*SIGN(q)
|
FLOAT BIN(p) |
FIXED BIN(p,0) |
FLOAT DEC(p) |
FIXED BIN(r,0)
where r = min(M,CEIL(p*3.32))
|
BIT |
FIXED BIN(M,0) |
CHAR, GRAPHIC or WIDECHAR |
FIXED BIN(r,0)
where r = min(M,1+CEIL(N*3.32))
