I think it would be clearer if the precision, the rounding

precision of 10 or 20 decimal digits instead of 9 or wanted to
use a different rounding mode.
I agree. I worked with languages which have decimal type built
into the language
(DATA price TYPE p LENGTH 16 DECIMALS 2)
and having the possibility to set precision and scale directly
without have to think about rounding options would be great.
Kind regards
