I use decimal 28 precision in my powerserver 2020 application.
Other than being slower (as per the documentation) there have been other problems with using precision 28 (graphs apparently). I am coming across decimal problems in PS 2020 that i don't believe were in 2016 and I am thinking that since precision 28 is not used nearly as much as 15 that it could be related to that. (my issue is that powerscript variables defined as decimal are acting like real)
My question is this: if you round to 16 decimal places, or have decimal{16} used anywhere while PS is set to precision 15, what exactly happens? Does it ignore the 16 decimal places and simply use 15? I think that 15 decimal places will work fine, but i would like to know what that setting actually does.
also, the help does say this: "is only supported in DataWindow"
does that mean that powerscript is already at decimal 15?
