<div class="markdown_content"><p>Sorry, I can't reproduce your problem neither on DB2/Linux nor on DB2 UDB for AS/400.</p> <p>Are you really using the JDBC-ODBC bridge driver? This generic driver is outdated and you may want to try a native DB2 JDBC driver. Native JDBC drivers are available for all DB2 versions.</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>The first hex pair should be 'f2', and not as it states on the initial view '2'.</p></div>
