AFAIK, all (18,x) datatypes are stored as int64. Maybe the connection
library you're using doesn't recognize it. What do you use to access the
database?

You can try to cast the result to double precision to see if that is the
case, for example:

select DNVL(cast(Sum(ImporteTotal),0) as double precision) from pagos

I'm not an expert on this, so someone else may give you the full
explanation.
