[OASIS Issue Tracker] (ODATA-784) Need to specify the behaviour of arithmetic operators on Decimal type

[OASIS Issues Tracker <workgroup_mailer@lists.oasis-open.org>]

    [ https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/ODATA-784?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=58647#comment-58647 ] 

Michael Pizzo commented on ODATA-784:
-------------------------------------

To what extent do we need to specify this?
Can we say the result is a decimal of sufficient scale?
Is it dependent upon the defined scale of the data types or the actual numbers?
If the expression is used in a $filter, and some of the operands result in an overflow and some do not, how is that handled?
