Marinko,

The U2 database is an integer only system, when it comes to using the
inbuilt calculations. Numbers should be normalized using the input and
output conversions.

For instance, money is stored as total number of cents rather than dollars.
The conversion code of MD22 will shift the decimal point two places to the
left during display.

Cheers,

David Murray

Subject: [U2] SQL SUM Function

Hello



I have a single value field EX.NUMBER with the following values:



Key    EX.NUMBER

A         123.45

B         567.89

C         987.65



The result of the following SQL Statement using BCI (UniVerse BASIC SQL
Client Interface) is



SELECT SUM(EX.NUMBER) FROM YYEXAMPLE USING DICT DYYEXAMPLE;



Result: 1679



The result should be 1678.99. The statement PRECISION 4 does not affect
the result.



Any idea?



Kind regards,



Marinko
