Christian,

I presume your question has nothing to do with the messages you
quoted.

I am not all that familiar with TIBO*, but from the ReleaseNotes (you
know, that document we all ignore near the bottom of the source ;-)

IBO will also try to use the BCD field type more often when decimal
digits are requested. This is suggesting that precise values to
specified decimal places are desired so BCD is most appropriate
-----

My opinion is that Jasons decision to use BCD is highly appropriate,
since it is consistent with the decision to implement a field as
NUMERIC or DECIMAL. If you want a floating point value then use
FLOAT/DOUBLE.
