Decimal Values less than 1 and negative! :(

  • Howdy!

    I am working on a payroll type application and have run into a snag.

    If a person doesn't take a full 30 minute lunch, for example, from 12:00 to 12:20, we have to subtract 0.10 from the total.

    I am using a field, duration, with decimal (18,2) data type.  I am finding that it will hold a negative value 1 or greater, but not a value less than 1, like -0.10.

    Is there a work around for this?

    Many thanks for all the assistance!

  • Shelley,

    it works for me. Could you post the ddl and your insert procedures. Do you get an error? Which service pack level do you have?

  • Hello Markus!

    I found that I have a trigger that is preventing me from inserting the negative correctly. (DUH!)

    Thank you for the quick response!

  • and, the trigger did not have the duration defined as (18,2) so it was not seeing the fractional part.
