readObject

public Object readObject(byte[] ioArea,
                         int start,
                         int length,
                         Class objectType,
                         Collection<String> warningStrings)
                  throws com.ibm.ims.dli.types.ConversionException

Reads a PackedDecimal value from the database and interprets it as a date value. The PackedDecimal value will be stored as a numeric representation of a all numeric date pattern i.e., pattern = YYYYMMdd PackedDecimalValue = 20110324 There are two valid properties for this converter: 1. pattern - This is the pattern of the date that is stored in the database 2. isSigned - If the PackedDecimal value is stored as signed or unsigned in the database

Returns:

an object that represents the PackedDate value from the database

Throws:

com.ibm.ims.dli.types.ConversionException - if an error occurs during processing

writeObject

public void writeObject(byte[] ioArea,
                        int start,
                        int length,
                        Object object,
                        Collection<String> warningStrings)
                 throws com.ibm.ims.dli.types.ConversionException,
                        com.ibm.ims.dli.types.UnsupportedTypeConversion

Writes a new PackedDecimal value to an IMS database as a numeric representation of a date pattern. Use the pattern property to specify the date pattern. Use the isSigned property to specify whether the input value is signed or unsigned.

Throws:

com.ibm.ims.dli.types.UnsupportedTypeConversion

com.ibm.ims.dli.types.ConversionException
