SYMPTOMS
If the Microsoft Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) Driver for DB2 is used to retrieve data from a DB2 table that contains a binary field that has NULLs (0x00), then the data is truncated at the first NULL.

For example, if a DB2 table is created and populated with data as follows

CREATE TABLE OWNER.TABLE (COL1 CHAR (5), COL2 VARCHAR (40))

INSERT INTO OWNER.TABLE ('00001', '00x100x200x000x3')

then when you select the COL2, just '00x100x2' is returned.

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for SNA Server 4.0. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
