Problem with FastExport and DECIMAL column on TD 14.10 - response (1) by xtrnssf

I have found the solution to my problem !
There is a parameter called DECIMALDIGITS that is part of the EXPORT command. That parameter is by default only 18 digits (see following excerpt from the FastExport documentation). Until I have not stumbled over that parameter as I would not have expected that such a thing would exist :-)
For anybody with the same problem:
DECIMALDIGITS
A user-supplied maximum number of digits in the DECIMAL data type that can be exported. Starting from V2R6.2, the maximum number of digits in the DECIMAL data type increased from 18 to 38. Note that if a user doesn’t set the limit, the default maximum number of digits is 18. When the client is a mainframe, the user can set the limit to 31 to request automatic CAST to avoid n>31 results.
Using this option overwrites the max_decimal_returned value specified in the clispb.dat file for network-attached systems or the HSHSPB parameter for channel-attached systems.
Use it as .BEGIN EXPORT SESSIONS 5 DECIMALDIGITS 38; At least that helped me with my problem.
best regards,
