Dewey Dunnington created ARROW-15007:
----------------------------------------
Summary: [R] Creating Decimal type using the example fails
Key: ARROW-15007
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-15007
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Bug
Components: R
Reporter: Dewey Dunnington
>From the documentation:
{noformat}
As an example, decimal128(7, 3) can exactly represent the numbers 1234.567 and
-1234.567 (encoded internally as the 128-bit integers 1234567 and -1234567,
respectively), but neither 12345.67 nor 123.4567.
{noformat}
...but when we try this, we get:
{code:R}
library(arrow, warn.conflicts = FALSE)
Array$create(1234.567, type = decimal128(7, 3))
#> Error: NotImplemented: Extend
