On SQL Server 2005, the output of sp_help indicates that the column is typed as numeric(8,6), not numeric(38,6). I cannot check this on SQL Server 2008, as I don't have that version installed on this computer. Maybe you can execute this code on SQL 2008 and report back the results?
On SQL 2008 it is also numeric(8,6)
