No it does not really handle them any differently. If you were to define the column as Field1 DECIMAL(9,3) NOT NULL DEFAULT 0.0 COMPRESS 0.0 and then do a show table you would see...

     Field1 DECIMAL(9,3) NOT NULL DEFAULT 0.000 COMPRESS 0.000.

So, in other words, Teradata defaults your values to the field "size".
