Okay, Thanks that worked.
I still needed to import the Decimal class and I'm not sure that is okay. The reason why is I'm receiving the Decimal value from another program, if I already know that the value will be a Decimal why test it? Perhaps I'm getting to caught up in this test-driven development thing.
