As written in the manual you have two chances: fixed point literal (up to 38 digits, not enough for up to 300 digits) and float which is not able to handle exponents of 300, no matter how this datatype is named. --> no chance to store this kind of number as number in the database. http://www.sapdb.org/htmhelp/06/631425a4a211d2a97100a0c9449261/frameset.htm Elke SAP Labs Berlin _______________________________________________ sapdb.general mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listserv.sap.com/mailman/listinfo/sapdb.general
