In SAS Real-Time Decision Manager, the fractional (decimal) part of a numeric value is not returned from a data process when data is read with arithmetic operations from an Oracle view. As a result, the decimal values are truncated, and only the integer is returned to the data process. This issue does not produce an error in SAS^® Customer Intelligence Studio or in any log. 

This issue is introduced by installation of either of the following hot fixes:

• Hot Fix V46008 (applied to SAS^® Decision Services 6.4)
• Hot Fix Z24003 (applied to SAS^® Decision Services 6.4_M1)

To work around this issue, place the arithmetic operations within a explicit cast, as shown in the following example. In the example, an existing view is replaced by a new view. Two decimal values (DEC1 and DEC2) are added, and they maintain their fractional parts in the data process because the sum is explicitly cast to NUMBER(8, 5).
