In Response To: RE: dbaccess output display width from cron (Danny Wright)

I actually tried that, but it didn't seem to have any effect.

Sorry about the top-posting.

Set COLUMNS=132 in the environment; cron-run programs don't have a
controlling terminal, and in the absence of information to the contrary,
assume the terminal is 80 characters wide.

Use SQLCMD - one of the reasons it exists is because ISQL (and DB-Access)
are inconsistent in their output formatting.

When you sum integers, the type of the result is a (big) DECIMAL because if
you add enough big enough integers together (or count enough rows), the
result overflows your 32-bit integer value. UNLOAD puts the ####.0 there to
emphasize that the type is, in fact, a DECIMAL(32) - floating point,
32-digit decimal value. SQLCMD does the same - probably for consistency
with DB-Access, or because it uses the same formatting code as DB-Access.
