Description

AdsGetShort returns the signed short (2-byte) value stored in the numeric, long integer, short integer, double, CurDouble, short, RowVersion, or auto-increment field. It is possible to either overflow the value or lose decimal precision by using this function. If more precision is desired, use AdsGetDouble. If AdsGetShort is used to retrieve a Money field, the four decimal digits will be rounded to the nearest whole number.
