ILE COBOL Programmer's Guide


Declaring Data Items Using SAA Data Types

The ILE COBOL compiler allows you to convert variable-length fields from externally described files and SAA database data types to standard COBOL data items. The SAA data types you can convert are variable-length fields, date, time, timestamp fields, and DBCS-graphic and floating-point fields. ILE COBOL provides limited support for these variable-length fields.
