Notes Data Types
The following tables show the correspondences of IBM® Lotus® Notes® to IBM® Lotus® Enterprise Integrator (LEI) data types for various types of activities. The following notes apply to the tables below:

(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.

Text, Number, or Time indicates single-value unless otherwise specified.

The Notes Connection Option "Maximum Length for Text Data" alters the default boundary of 64996 for LEI text.

The Notes Connection Option "Translate Multivalue Types to Text" makes multiple-value Text, Data, and Time look like single-value Text.

LEI evaluates the absence of a field in a Notes database as a NULL.

Hinweis For more information on the organization of these tables, see the section entitled “Note on Connection Data Type Conversion Tables” in Chapter 3.
