Why do we get same answers for the below decimal rounding? Excel gives 6.9 & 6.8 respectively.

     BTEQ -- Enter your DBC/SQL request or BTEQ command:
     sel cast(6.85 as dec(2,1));

     sel cast(6.85 as dec(2,1));

      *** Query completed. One row found. One column returned.
      *** Total elapsed time was 1 second.

     6.85
     ----
      6.8

      BTEQ -- Enter your DBC/SQL request or BTEQ command:
     sel cast(6.75 as dec(2,1));

     sel cast(6.75 as dec(2,1));

      *** Query completed. One row found. One column returned.
      *** Total elapsed time was 1 second.

     6.75
     ----
      6.8

Thanks, Vivek
