Problem Note 42943: The triggering transaction debit amounts in the Alert Details screen of SAS® Anti-Money Laundering are expressed as whole numbers.
In the Alert Details screen, the triggering transaction debit amounts are expressed as whole numbers. There are no fractional numbers displayed in these amounts. This issue only occurs for sites using Teradata as the database.
The issue is caused by the null place-holder for the debit column in the first
part of the query below (for credit transactions) specifying the type as INT (integer). This INT type is then assumed for the debit column in each of the joined parts of the query. As a result, the DECIMAL(15,5) values are converted to INT resulting in the fraction truncation.
sasaml.alerttrans.triggering.transactions=
SELECT ...
'Credit',
a.currency_amount as credit,
(cast(NULL as int)) as debit,
...
UNION
SELECT ...
'Debit',
(cast(NULL as int)) AS credit,
b.currency_amount AS debit,
...
That the first reference to the debit column is typed as an INT, this apparently
carries forwards to the subsequent debit column references.
This also occurs when no type is specified; it behaves as it defaults to INT.
The issue can be resolved by specifying DECIMAL(15,5) as the type for the
place-holder debit column reference instead of INT. As long as the first
reference to the debit column is defined as DECIMAL(15,5), any subsequent casting
the place-holder as INT have no effect. However, for consistency, all should be
changed.
