datatype conversion

Hi,

I am introducing myself as software engineer and working on 

data warehousing tool.   

I have few doubts in datatype conversion using the DB library API 

function dbconvert().  I have tried the following numbers to insert

into SQL Server database after conversion.  

123456789123456.8800
123456789123456.9900
123456789123456.9800

First, I converted the money datatype to decimal.  Again I converted

from decimal into character.   

The pSrc is the 

char *pSrc;

dbconvert(dbproc, SYBMONEY, pSrc, sizeof(DBMONEY), SYBDECIMAL, (unsigned
char *)&decTemp, sizeof(DBDECIMAL));
dbconvert(dbproc, SYBDECIMAL, (unsigned char *const)&decTemp,
sizeof(DBDECIMAL), SYBCHAR, tmpstr, -1);


After conversion, the above values loses its scale value by 1.  Before the
first conversion, I have

set the precision and scale value length to 38 and 5.   

For example, after conversion I am getting the result as follows.

123456789123456.8700
123456789123456.9800
123456789123456.9700


But, I have tried the same conversion using the following query in SQL
Server Query Analyzer.

SELECT CONVERT(decimal(38,4) , 123456789123456.8800) 

I am getting the correct answer for the above query.  Also, I have converted
the converted value

to character.  

SELECT CONVERT(CHAR(50),CONVERT(decimal(38,4) , 123456789123456.8800)) 

In this case, there is no loss in scale value.  


Could you please suggest the solution for this problem.
