Decimal and Double Data Types

You can pass decimal and double data from sources to targets and perform transformations on decimal and double data.

The transformation language supports the following data types:

Decimal: For transformations that support precision up to 38 digits, the precision is 1 to 38 digits, and the scale is 0 to 38.

For transformations that support precision up to 28 digits, the precision is 1 to 28 digits, and the scale is 0 to 28.

You cannot use decimal values with a scale greater than the precision or with a negative precision. Transformations display any range that you assign to the Decimal data type, but the Data Integration Service supports precision only up to 38 digits or 28 digits depending on the transformation.; When you enable high precision and the port precision is greater than 38 digits or 28 digits, depending on the transformation, the Data Integration Service stores the result as a double.

Double: Double-precision floating-point numeric value.

You can edit the precision and scale. The scale must be less than or equal to the precision.
