I ran Dieter's test on my clients , and interestingly enough I am getting some mixed results.

Initially I ran this on SQL Assistant via. .Net Data Provider (with the option "Display Float Values using scientific notation" Unchecked") The Type returns as number but is showing like a Float.

The export File shows the below output from SQL Assistant. Basically I get the wrong result in all cases.

     Database Version:  Teradata 14.00.06.02 Provider Version: Teradata.Net 15.0.0.0 SQL
     Assistant Version: Teradata.Net 14.0.0.0

     ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
     SELECT 2**63    , Type (  POWER(2,32) * POWER (2,31)), (  POWER(2,32) *
     POWER (2,31))   , POWER(2,63)  ;

     1 Rows returned. DBS time = 00:00:00

     (2**63)   Type((POWER(2,32)*POWER(2,31)))   (POWER(2,32)*POWER(2,31))   POWER(2,63)
     9.22337203685478E+18   NUMBER   9.22337203685478E+18   9.22337203685478E+18

     ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The answer set shows the following in the display window which is different

     (2**63)   Type((POWER(2,32)*POWER(2,31)))   (POWER(2,32)*POWER(2,31))
     POWER(2,63)
     9223372036854780000.0000   NUMBER   9223372036854780000.0000
     9223372036854780000.0000

IN BTEQ I get the same results as Dieter, and also this works with TD15 SQL assistant via TD .NET connector (all the same options).

The results are below. Is this a known issue with my version of SQL Assistant?

It seems pretty strange behavior for not only the DB to get a wrong answer, but then for a client to produce inconsistent results.

I would have further tested this behavior with Teradata Studio, however it seems to have committed Seppuku after the most recent Java update, and I don't have time to reconfigure/reinstall that junky application.
