The definition of the column in the table is one thing, the layout of the input to FastLoad is another. FastLoad can do some simple type
conversions but won't be able to handle an eight-byte binary field directly.
If you tell FastLoad it's DECIMAL(18) input (e.g. a ten-byte packed-decimal field on the mainframe), you'll need to make sure the DB2 export is
also using that format.
