Using DECIMAL or MONEY Data Types

If you set the TYPE field for a DECIMAL or MONEY data type, and you want to use a scale or precision other than the default values, set the SCALE and PRECISION fields. You do not need to set the LENGTHfield for a DECIMAL or MONEY item; the LENGTH field is set accordingly from the SCALE and PRECISION fields.
