All I can offer is that it used to work in version 9.6. I haven't touched it since. Sounds like something to take up with IBM through your support provider. --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

I modified my test to also include ICHECK - curiously enough, this does not report any errors either. It is starting to look like OPENCHECK/WRITE and ICHECK do not consider column data type as a CONSTRAINT - sort of defeats one of the main benfits of SQL tables doesn't it ? -Original Messag

Well that it the point - as I stated in my original post, I have written a test program that demonstrates that data type constraint checks are not being performed even though the OPENCHECK statement is being used. Hence the concern. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL

OPENCHK is also a parameter in uvconfig. It allows you to configure the system to bypass integrity checks when the file is opened with OPEN - but not when the file is opened with OPENCHK. Thus your understanding is conditionally correct, depending on the setting of OPENCHK in uvconfig. This i
