Re: modification required to pass Sun's CTS

Oliver,

This is what we have to pass.

   rsSch.createTab("Numeric_Tab",sqlp,conn);

                         msg.setMsg("get the CallableStatement object");
                         cstmt = conn.prepareCall("{call Numeric_Proc
(?,?,?)}");

                         msg.setMsg("Register the output parameter");
                         cstmt.registerOutParameter
(1,java.sql.Types.NUMERIC,15);
                         cstmt.registerOutParameter
(2,java.sql.Types.NUMERIC,15);
                         cstmt.registerOutParameter
(3,java.sql.Types.NUMERIC,15);

                         msg.setMsg("execute the procedure");
                         cstmt.executeUpdate();
                         msg.setMsg("invoke getBigDecimal method");
                         oRetVal = cstmt.getBigDecimal(1);
                         String sRetStr = rsSch.extractVal
("Numeric_Tab",1,sqlp,conn);
                         msg.setMsg("extracted MAX_VAL from
Numeric_Tab");
                         maxBigDecimalVal = new BigDecimal(sRetStr);

                         msg.addOutputMsg("" + maxBigDecimalVal, "" +
oRetVal);

                         if( (oRetVal.compareTo(maxBigDecimalVal) ==
0) )
                         {
                                 msg.setMsg("getBigDecimal returns
the Maximum value ");
                         }
                         else
                         {
                                 msg.printTestError("getBigDecimal()
did not return the Maximum value", "test getBigDecimal Failed!");

                         }
