Re: Decimal rounding issue

I found this note:

1895981 - to_decimal no longer provides rounding

*************************************************************************

In SP06:

select to_decimal(1.249,3,2) from dummy

returns 1.24

In SP05 and eariler:

select to_decimal(1.249,3,2) from dummy

returns 1.25

Reason and Prerequisites

In SP06, to_decimal no longer provide rounding implicitly.
This is by design

Solution

User can nest round function explicitly.

eg:

select to_decimal(roun(1.249,2),3,2) from dummy

This will return 1.25 as before.

**************************************************************************

Not sure if I am suppose to use round function. is is going to change in SPS7 or future releases?

Thanks,
