I'm new in this list, where is the request to put more than 7 digits before the 
decimal should be submitted?

In Indonesian Rupiah currency, 7 digits before the decimal is a problem because 
9999999.999 rupiahs (about 1000 USD) is a very small amount and easily achieved 
in calculations. Adding 4 to 5 more digits before the decimal is more suitable 
in our currency ( datatype: DECIMAL(14,3) or DECIMAL(15,3) ) so it can coupe up 
to 99999999999.999(ninety nine billionths plus plus) rupiahs which is about 
10000000 (10 millions) USD.
