Members,

I am trying to update a column which is POS CHAR(04) with a hexadecimal value 14250204 using query:
Code:

UPDATE TABLENAME SET POS = HEX(14250204) WHERE SEQNAME = 'ABCD'

I am getting the error
Code:

QUERY MESSAGES:                                 
The value beginning with "00D970DC" is too long.

If i would like to insert / update the POS value with Hexadecimal 14250204 what should be the syntax ? Can anybody help me out in this regard as my intention is to have some values ?

mfuser,

If you are trying to update the column with hex value then you don't use the HEX scalar function once again. Try this

Code:

UPDATE TABLENAME SET POS = X'14250204' WHERE SEQNAME = 'ABCD'


Hope this helps...

Cheers
