Converting Data Types from RPG to IBM i COBOL
The Transaction Integrator (TI) run-time environment supports the use of IBM i COBOL running on an IBM i computer. The following table lists the Report Program Generator ( to data type conversions supported by the TI run-time environment.
| RPG data type | IBM i COBOL data type |
|---|---|
| Type A | PIC X |
| Type G | PIC G |
| Type S | PIC S99v99 Display |
| Type L Note: Type L is not supported by the TI run-time environment. | PIC S99v99 Display Sign Leading Separate |
| Type R Note: Type R is not supported by the TI run-time environment. | PIC S99v99 Display Sign Trailing Separate |
| Type P | PIC S99v99 Comp |
| Type B Note: Type B is not supported by the TI run-time environment. | PIC S99V99 Comp |
| Type I 5 digits | PIC S9(1) to S9(4) Comp-3 |
| Type U 5 digits Note: Type U 5 is not supported by the TI run-time environment. Use Type I 5 instead. | PIC 9(1) to 9(4) Comp-3 |
| Type I 10 | PIC S9(5) to S9(9) Comp-3 |
| Type U 10 Note: Type U 10 is not supported by the TI run-time environment. Use Type I 10 instead. | PIC 9(5) to 9(9) Comp-3 |
| Type F 4 | COMP-1 |
