SYMPTOMS
When you use Microsoft OLE DB Provider for DB2 (OLEDB2) in Microsoft Host Integration Server 2004 together with Microsoft SQL Server, incorrect values may be returned. For example, the following SELECT statement may return a value of .0000: SELECT $1.4980 FROM db2.RPUBS.RPUBS.TITLES The statement should return a value of 1.4980.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the provider is converting the information to currency (DBTYPE_CY) incorrectly.
