SQL$HELP72.HLB  —  Literals  Numeric Literals
    A numeric literal is a string of digits that SQL interprets as a
    decimal number. A numeric literal can be a:

    o  Decimal string that consists of digits and an optional decimal
       point. The maximum length, not counting the decimal point, is
       19 digits.

    o  Decimal number in scientific notation (E notation) that
       consists of a decimal string mantissa and a signed integer
       exponent, separated by the letter E. You cannot embed spaces
       in E notation.

    The following syntax shows the format of numeric literals:
