I am coming late to this party, but wanted to throw out a bug that was just reported to Rocket. We found that PERCISION was causing a calculation to round in some cases and truncate in others. I am not sure where this stands because someone else on my team is driving this ticket, but it was pretty disturbing that the same calculation worked differently.

Hi Brett, > The realisation for me here is that PRECISION has nothing to do > with the precision of the calculation, it only effects display. Correct. All arithetic operations work at the precision of the underlying hardware. PRECISION applies when converting a floating point number to a character string.
