Mike: In addition to the original request that "rightmost fractional zero digits be allowed", which resulted in the creation of the precisionDecimal datatype, you also had a request that the fractionDigits facet be allowed to have negative values. When we finally finished precisionDecimal, we created a new facet, maxScale, which plays that role for precisionDecimal, and allows negative values for maxScale. We did not change the original fractionDigits facet, which applies only to the (non-precision) decimal datatype. It was my impression that you were not concerned about this as long as precisionDecimal was there and "fractionDigits" (now maxScale) could have negative values for that datatype, you would be satisfied. Accordingly I have in our current bugzilla tracking system marked this request (now known within bugzilla as bug 2855) as fixed. We would like your explicit concurrence or objection to this action; if you concur we will close the issue and if you object we will reopen the issue specifically to be applied to the (non-precision) decimal datatype. A reply within two weeks would be appreciated; in its absence we will assume that the status quo is acceptable. -- Dave Peterson SGMLWorks! davep@iit.edu
