             Summary: Alert clients to new symbolic scale value "float"
                 Key: ODATA-690
                 URL: https://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-690
             Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: OData CSDL
    Affects Versions: V4.0_OS
         Environment: [Proposed]
            Reporter: Michael Pizzo
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: V4.0_ERRATA01


ODATA-557 proposes adding a new symbolic value "float" to the scale attribute for decimals with precision 16 or 34 to specify that values will be returned in exponential notation.

In OData V4 we should add text to make clients aware of this expected change;

"The Scale attribute value of "float" is reserved for future use for decimal types with precision of 16 or 34 to specify that values will be returned using exponential notation."
