What datatype does the column have that you store it into? Also: what datatype does the parameter of the stored procedure have that you use to pass in that value??
My hunch: if you use e.g.
DECIMALthen you’re usingDECIMAL(18,0)–> up to 18 digits, but none after the decimal point. That would truncate 0.15 to 0. Just usingDECIMALas a data type doesn’t automatically make it support after-decimal-point digits (a common mistake a lot of SQL programmers make – once – and then they know it).Make sure both the parameter of the stored proc and the column in the table allow for fractional values, e.g. are something like
DECIMAL(18,4)or something like that
