Question

i am multipying the values in the query

DECLARE  @Rate
DECLARE @numeric
DECLARE @Result decimal
SET  @Rate= .01
SET  @Result=34750*@Rate
print @Result

but it always displays the value as 0

as per my logic the result should be 347.5

after i get the result 347.5 i need to spilt the values an d insert into 2 variables
like

@var1= 347
@var2=5

what wromg i am doing here please let me know, any help would be great

Thanks

Answer 1

You need to define scale and precision to numeric and decimal data types

You can get the whole part by casting to integer (I’m not sure if you want INT or FLOOR rounding, however). I’ve assumed that you just want the single most significant digit of the fraction.

DECLARE @Rate NUMERIC(18,4)
DECLARE @Result DECIMAL(10,1) 

SET  @Rate= .01 
SET  @Result=34750*@Rate 
PRINT @Result 

DECLARE @IntPart INT
DECLARE @FracPart INT
SET @IntPart = CAST(@Result AS INT)
PRINT @IntPart
SET @FracPart = (@Result - @IntPart) * 10
PRINT @FracPart
