Source is Oracle Table and target is also oracle table.
Col1 is Number datatype in source table and Col1 is Float(126) datatype in Target table.One to one mapping between source and target.In Datastage job i am reading col1 as Decimal 38,10 and propagating this field till target.In some cases I am not getting correct output.
SOURCE:
COL1
-10240547.950000
current output:
COL1
-10240547.949999999
expected output:
COL1
-10240547.950000
TO be short what ever it is there in source i need in target with out rounding.

Not really any different from your other post discussing this data type I'm afraid.

No computer can store float data type accurately 100% of the time. There are IEEE papers out there explaining why. You could try changing the data type to DECIMAL(38,2) or using explicit rounding functions.
