Re: Maybe there is an error on this?

Yes - internally - a DECIMAL(x) defaults to DECIMAL(x,2) for Aubit4gl

This is a known limitation


       |       KW_DECIMAL OPEN_BRACKET INT_VALUE CLOSE_BRACKET {

$$=new_simple_variable(NULL,DTYPE_DECIMAL,atoi($<str>3)*256+2,0);
                        add_feature("DEFINE_DECIMAL");

                }

It would be quite difficult to fix this one - as it would be quite far
reaching.

Personally - I have never used a DECIMAL(x) - only ever a DECIMAL(x,y)
