Hi All!

How to declare a variable of decimal type with size?
In VB we declare as

Dim ld_amount as decimal
Dim ld_con_amount as decimal

How to define precision size in VB in declaration time?

In Powerbuilder when declare a variable .
Decimal{4} ld_amount
Decimal{2} ld_con_amount
 
(Please don't cross-post so widely in future. This has nothing to do
with Visual Studio as an IDE, for example.)

They're not the same kind of type. Decimal in .NET is a floating point
type - it doesn't *have* a scale/precision in the same way that a SQL
DECIMAL field does, for instance.
