Hi,

I was hoping for the 6th decimal is kept unchanged from source, but it seems it has been rounded up/down:

CREATE SET TABLE working_dev.STG_ACCOUNTS_TEST ,NO FALLBACK ,
     NO BEFORE JOURNAL,
     NO AFTER JOURNAL
     (
      ID DECIMAL(18,0) NOT NULL,
      AMOUNT decimal(18,6)
        );

        insert into working_dev.STG_ACCOUNTS_TEST (id, amount) values = (1,-123456789012.123456)
        insert into working_dev.STG_ACCOUNTS_TEST (id, amount) values = (2,123456789012.123456)
        insert into working_dev.STG_ACCOUNTS_TEST (id, amount) values = (3,12345678901.123456)

        select * from working_dev.STG_ACCOUNTS_TEST;

        ID      AMOUNT
        1       -123456789012.123460
        2       123456789012.123460
        3       12345678901.123455

How should we avoid such rounding?

Thanks,

mei
