Thread: NAN-Values in ECPG-Code

Greetings,

this is my first post in an newslist, so pleas be patient, if I made some formal mistakes.

I have a Question:

Im writing a program in c using the ecpg-library. How can I insert a float-value like 'NAN' or 'infinity' into a
recordset?

( this is only an example ... )

EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;
Int    paramid;
Float fval;
EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;

paramid = 5;
fval = 'NAN';

EXEC SQL INSERT INTO test ( paramid, value ) VALUES ( :paramid, :fval );

This is only working for 'normal' values, but not for the special's - NAN and INFINITY...

Can You help me, and tell me how to do it?
I would be very thankful.


Mit freundlichen Grüßen aus Krefeld,

Sorry for the late answer, but I still have a backlog in my emails.

How about this?

fval = strtod("nan", NULL);
