Remarks

This can be used to specify certain non-standard data types and is typically used for DataFlex for Btrieve converted data tables that use non-standard field types. Currently implemented are LSTRING2 and DFBCD.

  • The LSTRING2 type can be used for TEXT fields in tables that have been converted with the Btrieve product. This field type stores the length of a text in the first two bytes followed by the actual text.

  • The DFBCD type is also used by DataFlex for Btrieve converted data for numeric fields that exceed the maximum number of digits of 21 for Pervasive.SQL numeric fields.
