Perhaps the number is a floating point number. IBUDF's round() function
takes a scaled numeric. But round() does not truncate numbers, it removes
the decimal part of a scaled numeric and returns an integer.

You don't need a UDF. Just use a CAST() expression:

select cast(sum(Field1) as numeric(9,2)) as Total
from table1
