Precision Problem

Hi,

I can't seem to get a stored procedure to return decimal places. Here are the steps to re-create the problem:

--first create the following procedure
CREATE PROCEDURE test_precision
AS
BEGIN
RETURN 5.2
END

--then run the following code
DECLARE @.x DECIMAL(18,2)
EXECUTE @.x = test_precision
SELECT @.x

I would like this code to return 5.20, but instead it returns 5.00. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.if you are using SQL 2005 that is the problem. Your stored Procedure would work correctly in SQL 2000.

The work around
declare @.x FLOAT(18,2)

give that a try.|||ooops!! allow me to take that back - wrong thought process. sorry.

you need to edit your proc to read 5.20sql
