Hibernate query - field length, pulling wrong record

[getdgbmail]

I am using a Hibernate query in JAVA to retrieve data from an iSeries file.The field length of fieldName in my query WHERE clause is 4 long. There is a record in the file with a field name of BLUE. When I run the query using BLUE_GREEN, this record is selected. BLUE_GREEN is not BLUE, so I don'twant this field to be selected. Why is this happening?



WHERE
fieldName = :fieldName

I am using a Hibernate query in JAVA to retrieve data from an iSeries file.
The field length of fieldName in my query WHERE clause is 4 long. There is a
record in the file with a field name of BLUE. When I run the query using
BLUE_GREEN, this record is selected. BLUE_GREEN is not BLUE, so I don't want
this field to be selected. Why is this happening?



WHERE
fieldName = :fieldName

AFAIK hibernate does not truncate strings to field lengths.
It may be doing of either jdbc driver or database.
Guess you should start by googling 'iseries jdbc truncate'
