Different results for decimal values between SQL and B1 RecordSet

Question

Hi Experts,
This is really a strange one. I have the query below:
SELECT Amount, TaxPrcnt FROM [@Table] WHERE ORDER# = '20246' AND ItemCode = '112488'
The same query gives me 0.085 for TaxPrcnt if I run it in SQL Management Studio, but gives me 8.5 if I run it in B1 Query Generator, and the same if I use RecordSet object in DI. The actual value in the table is 0.085. Anyone know why B1 is multiplying the value by 100?

Hi Ronnie,
sp_prepexec is a system stored procedure used to generate  to prepare and execute a parameterized SQL statement. Have a look at:
http://jtds.sourceforge.net/apiCursors.html#_sp_prepexec
Basically, it's another way of passing a query to SQL rather than using a stored procedure. This command shouldn't be converting the data in any way, unless there's a specific cast or calculation in the query itself.
Can you give simple details of the SQL table you created and I'll see if I can replicate the issue.
Kind Regards,
Owen
P.S. Sorry about the query, I wrote that down this morning before all my brain cells were awake Referencing a field by index only works when grouping and sorting.
