Edward ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) reports a bug with a severity of 1
The lower the number the more severe it is.

Short Description
ECPG: inserting float numbers

Long Description
Inserting records with single precision real variables having small value (range 
1.0e-6 or less) frequently results in errors in ECPG translations putting into 
resulted sql statement unexpected characters => see fragments of sample code and 
ECPGdebug log where after value of rate variable the unexpected character '^A' appears

Sample Code
/* fragment of the program code */
exec sql begin declare section;
/* ... */
float rate;                   /* level change rate  */
/* ... */
exec sql end declare section;
/* ... */
sprintf(buf,"INSERT: %.8s.%.8s @%.32s -> %08x/%08x %f %f %f %f %f", loc, name, ts, 
devstat, meastat, relative, level, ullage, rate, volume );
dbg_message( __FILE__, __LINE__, DBG_DBI, MSG_SQL, buf );
exec sql INSERT INTO rdr_meas ( name, loc, ts, devstat, meastat, relative, level, 
ullage, levelrate, volume ) VALUES ( :name, :loc, 'now', :devstat, :meastat, 
:relative, :level, :ullage, :rate, :volume ) ;
/* ... */

The above produces in ECPG debug :
...
[2782]: ECPGexecute line 1042: QUERY: insert into rdr_meas ( name  , loc  , ts  ,
