I was trying to copy dBase tables into an existing Interbase database.
My commands were 'USE CHINCPUE' , and 'COPY TO :NEWINT2:CHINCPUE'.
DBase fields that were originally numeric(8,2) became double(8) in the 
Interbase table. The decimal portion was lost. What was wrong? How
should I do this operation to not lose data?
       Thanks
       J. E. Logan
