LENGTH INTEGER
Maximum length of data. 0 for distinct types. The LENGTH column indicates precision for DECIMAL fields.
SCALE SMALLINT
Scale for DECIMAL fields; 0 if not DECIMAL.
CODEPAGE SMALLINT
Code page of the attribute. For character-string attributes not defined with FOR BIT DATA, the value is the database code page. For graphic-string attributes, the value is the DBCS code page implied by the (composite) database code page. Otherwise, the value is 0.
