Description Robert Großkopf 2016-12-23 17:36:35 UTC
Created attachment 129903 [details]
Open the query. Have a look at the fields, which should show absolute numbers.

Open the attached document.
Open the query.
There are numeric and decimal fields of the Firebird 3.0-database.
To every field is asked for ABS("Fieldname").

The function works right, if the field-length is 10 or 11. Could be for all values greater than 9.

The function ignores the decimal places for field-length less than 10. There are reported hundredfold values instead.

Have tested this again:

SELECT ABS(-23.45) FROM "Table"
gives 2345

SELECT ABS(CAST(-23.45 AS NUMERIC(10,2))) FROM "Table"
gives 23.45

You have to change the fieldtype and switch the length to min. 10 and the function will give the right value.

Tested with
