AFAICS, the spec says that implementation-defined rounding or truncation occurs if least significant digits would be lost. It appears to only be an error if most significant digits would be lost. For example: If an assignment would result in a loss of the most significant digits, an exception condition is raised. If least significant digits are lost, implementation-defined rounding or truncating occurs with no exception condition being raised. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
