Hi,

I am not able to add anything to DECIMAL(17) datatype. The result is always FLOAT with lower precision.

     --- returns 10000000000000000 !!!!!!!!!!
     --- equals  10000000000000001

     SELECT ((10000000000000000 (DECIMAL(18,0))) + ( 1 (DECIMAL(18,0)) ) (DECIMAL(18,0)) );
     SELECT ((10000000000000000 (DECIMAL(17,0))) + ( 1 (DECIMAL(17,0)) ) (DECIMAL(17,0)) );
     SELECT (10000000000000000 (DECIMAL(18,0))) + 1;

     --- Queryman

     /* Select * From dbc.DBCInfo Order By 1 Desc;
      InfoKey InfoData
