TYPE in DB2

Hi all,

We have an object 'TYPE' in Oracle that can be declared and defined in the Oracle database and the same can be used within the Database objects. The Oracle TYPE can have data and member functions, member procedures to access the data with in them.

can anyone help me in identifying the same in DB2?

with thanks n regards.

       principle INT,
       interest DECIMAL(5, 2),
       year INT
       )
     NOT FINAL
     MODE DB2SQL
       METHOD SI()
       RETURNS FLOAT
       LANGUAGE SQL
       DETERMINISTIC
       CONTAINS SQL
       NO EXTERNAL ACTION,

       METHOD CI()
       RETURNS FLOAT
       LANGUAGE SQL
       DETERMINISTIC
       CONTAINS SQL
       NO EXTERNAL ACTION,

       METHOD PROD(NUM INT)
       RETURNS INTEGER
       LANGUAGE SQL
       DETERMINISTIC
       CONTAINS SQL
       NO EXTERNAL ACTION
@

   CREATE METHOD SI()
     FOR s1.pnr_typ
     RETURN (SELF..principle*SELF..interest*SELF..year)/100
@

   CREATE METHOD CI()
     FOR s1.pnr_typ
     RETURN SELF..principle * POWER((1 + SELF..interest/100), SELF..year)

Now I am able to create tables with the structured TYPE as a column and able to insert and select the TYPE columns from the table... also the method calls in a Select query is working fine now,

Could any one throw the light on the usage of TYPE within a procedure or function...

Any help on this would be highly appreciated..

Thanks,
Neena
