SAP BW synonym gathering "round" values.

ENVIRONMENT.
WF 769
OS Win 2003 Server
SAP BW 3.10

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION.
Running a report agains SAP BW 3.10, a floating field is being returned with rounded values, for instance:
report shows 749.0000 while actual data in BW is 748.672

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
Took an eye on customer's configuration and found the actual BW datatype we're gathering data from is "QUAN" (quantity), 17 digits long(14 integer and 3 decimal).
When customer creates synonym, on webfocus side the field within master file is created as:
FIELDNAME=ZATV1, ALIAS=ZATV1, USAGE=D18.2, ACTUAL=D8,
MISSING=ON,
TITLE='ZATV1',
REFERENCE=SUM, PROPERTY=MEASURE, $

QUESTIONS.
- Does webfocus 769 supports such BW QUAN datatype?
- If so, Do we need to set any additional configuration either on master file or edasprof to avoid rounding data?

THANKS FOR ANY REPLY.

If your report show 749.0000 then the definition in the master file cannot be D18.2. It has to be something with 4 decimals, not 2.
But that may be beside the point.
I'd open a case with IB on this issue, if I were you, if only to verify if this kind of field is supported.

I would start by ascertaining that there isn't another master file somewhere in the path.

Thanks for these replies.
1. Yes I actually took care of any other possible master file, but there's any
2. I tried such D18.2, D18.4, D14.4, D14.2, and many other, but doesn't seem to do with the way we map such datatype on WF side.
3. Yes I already raised an incident but no solution yet.

Any other reply will be welcome.
Thanks and best regards.
