SAP ASE money data type

[jmtorres]

Hello,

In ASE 16.x

A couple of question regarding SAP ASE money data type:

-As is an abstract data type , is it based on a float /real (data type) ?

-When migrating from HP-UX  to Linux, is it advisable to previously convert it to a precision data type like numeric(m,n) / decimal(m,n)   

Thank you

Regards

Jose

Money datatype is based on Decimal/Numeric.  Like those, it is an exact/precision datatype, not an approximate datatype such as float/real.

Thank you Chris. The source(hp-ux) is an ASE 12.5( way too old).So in that version was a decimal/numeric as well?
