I have the value in the Oracle database as 29.63 but when running the query in WEBFOCUS it's appearing as 29

FIELDNAME=ECONTACT_COMP_IN_72_HRS, ALIAS=ECONTACT_COMP_IN_72_HRS, USAGE=P9.2, ACTUAL=P8,
MISSING=ON,
DESCRIPTION='E Contact Completed within 72 Hrs', $

Any ideas

The ACTUAL format of P8 is what's causing the problem. It's going to truncate the display of the value to a whole number. Surprising it's not giving you a format error. Anyway try changing actual to P9.2 and see what you get.

Changing the actual to P.9.2 has made no difference. The synom was generated by WebFOCUS. Any ideas

I hope that's a typo and you did not change to P.9.2. Try changing it in the report

ECONTACT_COMP_IN_72_HRS/P9.2

Is it possible that the default Precision and Scale was modified after the Master was generated?

These commands do that:

ENGINE [SQLORA] SET CONVERSION RESET
ENGINE [SQLORA] SET CONVERSION format RESET
ENGINE [SQLORA] SET CONVERSION format [PRECISION precision [scale]]
ENGINE [SQLORA] SET CONVERSION format [PRECISION MAX]


This is documented in the Adapter Administration manual.

D is GREATLY different from P. (D keeps all digits internally whereas P does not.)

The D format KNOW where the decimal point is (internally it is like scientific notation). The decimal point in a P format is only implied. Every program that looks at that byte sequence needs to know where the decimal is suppose to go.
