Max‑decimal‑returned specifies the maximum precision of DECIMAL values in a response mode. The option is ignored for Field Response‑mode. Max‑decimal‑returned exists only when DBCHINI had been called for a DBCAREA with Total‑length set to at least 640 (that is, the returned DBCAREA Level value is at least 1). For a smaller DBCAREA, Max‑decimal‑returned is ignored.

Teradata Database rejects any value greater than the decimal precision value obtained using the DBCHQE SQL‑limits query. If Max‑decimal‑returned is omitted or specified as zero, the client default of 18 is assumed, unless the HSHSPB MDR specification is used to specify a different default.
