Class DecimalData

java.lang.Object

com.ibm.dataaccess.DecimalData

public final class DecimalData
extends Object

Routines to convert between decimal data types stored in byte arrays and Java binary types.

All the converter routines require the precision of the decimal value to convert, which represents the number of decimal digits in the decimal value, not including the sign.

Unicode Decimal values can be represented as either a char array or as a byte array where every Unicode character is represented by a pair of adjacent bytes.

For embedded sign nibbles (4 bit integers representing values between 0x0 and 0xF inclusive) in External Decimal or Packed Decimal data, 0xB and 0xD represent a negative sign. All other sign nibble values represent a positive sign. For operations that produce an External Decimal or Packed Decimal result, the Data Access Accelerator library inserts the preferred positive sign code of 0xC if the result is positive, and a preferred negative sign code of 0xD if the result is negative. All values between 0x0 and 0xF inclusive are interpreted as valid sign codes.

This library has full support for signed integers but only limited support for scale points (decimals). Scale points and other unrecognized characters found in input External, Unicode, or Packed Decimal byte arrays are not supported, and may cause IllegalArgumentExceptions or undefined results. BigDecimal inputs will have scale ignored (i.e. -1.23 will be interpreted as -123). When converting to BigDecimal (as output), a scale value may be explicitly specified as a separate parameter.

convertUnicodeDecimalToPackedDecimal

public static void convertUnicodeDecimalToPackedDecimal(char[] unicodeDecimal,
 int unicodeOffset,
 byte[] packedDecimal,
 int packedOffset,
 int precision,
 int decimalType)

Converts an Unicode Decimal in a char array to a Packed Decimal in a byte array. If the digital part of the input Unicode Decimal is not valid then the digital part of the output will not be valid. The sign of the input Unicode Decimal is assumed to be positive unless the sign byte contains the negative sign code, in which case the sign of the input Unicode Decimal is interpreted as negative.

Parameters:

unicodeDecimal - char array that holds the Unicode Decimal to be converted

unicodeOffset - offset in unicodeDecimal at which the Unicode Decimal is located

packedDecimal - byte array that will hold the Packed Decimal on a successful return

packedOffset - offset in packedDecimal where the Packed Decimal is expected to be located

precision - number of decimal digits

decimalType - constant value indicating the type of External Decimal

Throws:

ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException - if an invalid array access occurs

NullPointerException - if packedDecimal or unicodeDecimal are null

IllegalArgumentException - if precision or decimalType is invalid

convertUnicodeDecimalToBigInteger

public static BigInteger convertUnicodeDecimalToBigInteger(char[] unicodeDecimal,

Convert a Unicode Decimal in a char array to a BigInteger. The sign of the input Unicode Decimal is assumed to be positive unless the sign byte contains the negative sign code, in which case the sign of the input Unicode Decimal is interpreted as negative. Overflow can happen if the Unicode Decimal value does not fit into a binary long. In this case, when checkOverflow is true an ArithmeticException is thrown, when false a truncated or invalid result is returned.

Parameters:

unicodeDecimal - char array that holds the Packed Decimal to be converted

offset - offset into unicodeDecimal where the Packed Decimal is located

precision - number of decimal digits. Maximum valid precision is 253

Returns:

BigInteger the resulting BigInteger

Throws:

ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException - if an invalid array access occurs

NullPointerException - if unicodeDecimal is null

ArithmeticException - if checkOverflow is true and the result overflows

IllegalArgumentException - if decimalType or precision is invalid, or the digital part of the input is invalid.
