Have narrowed it down to this BEFORE_UPDATE trigger
on a sample database:

declare variable total integer;
declare variable owner integer;
declare variable vat_rate numeric(9,2);

begin
vat_rate = 1 + (17.50 / 100);
owner = cast((150 * 10000) as integer);
total = cast((150 * vat_rate * 10000) as integer);

if (owner > total) then
TEST_TABLE.COL2 = "N";
else
TEST_TABLE.COL2 = "Y";

The above works on the original Borland IB6
but fails on RC2 with overflow errors

If I alter the vat_rate to:
declare variable vat_rate numeric(15,2);

it is OK - so probably not directly to do with integers
but something has changed

Regards

I've looked into this some more and I can't see where the problem might be.

Have you got a reproducable test case?
