Thanks Sean

My problem is that I need only 6 decimal digits for numeric datatype that
are all set as FLOAT !

I need float for compatibility !

I am using Delphi 5/6 and when I set a number like 2,50 into a Double
variable and send it to IB
database store 2,499999999999999999999999999999999999999999....as possible.

I need that the IB store 2,50 or at least 2,4999999 !

I need to use FLOAT for compatibility !
I try to truncate it in application but there is no effect !

Thanks in advance

Best Regards

Jed
