<h1 class="topictitle1">Rules for numeric assignment of host variables in SQL statements</h1>
<div><p>Rules regarding numeric assignment are as follows.</p>
<div class="section"><ul><li><strong>The whole part of a number may be altered when converting it to floating-point</strong>.
A single-precision floating-point field can only contain seven decimal digits.
Any whole part of a number that contains more than seven digits is altered
due to rounding. A double-precision floating point field can only contain
16 decimal digits. Any whole part of a number that contains more than 16 digits
is altered due to rounding.</li>
<li><strong>The whole part of a number is never truncated.</strong> If necessary, the
fractional part of a number is truncated. If the number, as converted, does
not fit into the target host variable or column, a negative SQLCODE is returned.</li>
<li>Whenever a <strong>decimal, numeric, or integer number</strong> is assigned to a
decimal, numeric, or integer column or host variable, the number is converted,
if necessary, to the precision and scale of the target. The necessary number
of leading zeros is added or deleted; in the fractional part of the number,
the necessary number of trailing zeros is added, or the necessary number of
trailing digits is eliminated.</li>
<li>When an <strong>integer or floating-point number</strong> is assigned to a decimal
or numeric column or host variable, the number is first converted to a temporary
decimal or numeric number and then converted, if necessary, to the precision
and scale of the target. <ul><li>When a <strong>halfword binary integer</strong> (SMALLINT) with 0 scale is converted
to decimal or numeric, the temporary result has a precision of 5 and a scale
of 0.</li>
<li>When a <strong>fullword binary integer</strong> (INTEGER) is converted to decimal
or numeric, the temporary result has a precision of 11 and a scale of 0.</li>
<li>When a <strong>double fullword binary integer</strong> (BIGINT) is converted to
a decimal or numeric, the temporary result has a precision of 19 and a scale
of 0.</li>
<li>When a <strong>floating-point number</strong> is converted to decimal or numeric,
the temporary result has a precision of 31 and the maximum scale that allows
the whole part of the number to be represented without loss of either significance
or accuracy.</li>
</ul>
</li>
