Microsoft Access 2000 Data Types

The following tables show the correspondences of Microsoft Access to IBM® Lotus Enterprise Integrator® (LEI) and Domino® Enterprise Connection Services (DECS) data types for various types of activities.

  • (p) - Indicates that if Allow Precision Loss is not enabled, then an error will be generated on the type match. Allowing precision loss is the default.
  • (o) - Indicates that overflow checking will be performed when data is being transferred. If an overflow occurs and Truncate Data When Necessary is enabled, then the data is truncated; if not, an error is generated.

For more information about these tables, see chapter 3.
