• The largest positive number that is valid for a decimal data type

  DEC_MAX

  +9999999999999999999999999999999D

• The smallest number greater than zero that is valid for a decimal data type

  DEC_EPSILON

  .0000000000000000000000000000001D

• Maximum number of significant digits that decimal data types can hold

  DEC_DIG

  31
