Not quite what you're asking for, Bruce, but
SELECT CAST(13.245 AS INTEGER) FROM RDB$DATABASE
WHERE CAST(13.245 AS INTEGER) * 1000 = cast(13.245 * 1000 as Integer)
does return any rows, whereas this statement does:
SELECT CAST(13.000 AS INTEGER) FROM RDB$DATABASE
WHERE CAST(13.000 AS INTEGER) * 1000 = cast(13.000 * 1000 as Integer)
HTH,
