RE: ORACLE Million Dollar Problem

Question

We experienced this problem as well. Richard Boswell named it the
Million Dollar Problem.
We are using Windows NT 3.51 and Forte 2.0.F.2. We did have ORACLE
version 7.1.3.3.6.
We contacted ORACLE regarding another bug in that version (memory leak
and associated application errors) and they gave us a maintenance
release - 7.1.3.3.22. This also fixed the Million Dollar Problem.

Hi ,
I got a problem when I try to insert a record into oracle table via Forte's
SQL command.
The field defined in Oracle table is NUMBER.
the code in forte looks like this:
amount : double = 1000000.00;
Begin transaction
SQL insert into table_name ( FIELD_NAME) VALUES ( :amount)
end trasaction;
The result in oracle table is ':000000' ( No error message was given,
both Oracle and Forte).
But if I replace the :amount with 1000000.00 directly, Oracle table has the
right value.
I try another way by initialize the value in text format, and convert them
to number using oracle's
to_number() function. This time it works fine.
There is no problem with other values, like 1000001, 500000000.00, etc.
The only one I have problem so far is 1000000 and 1000000.00
Anyone knows something that I do not realized ????
