currency - assigning a value?

Hello,
in VB there is the Currency-datatype. Internally it is a signed Int64, but with a fixed divisor of 10000. It seems that Jabaco knows the Currency datatype as well, but how can we assign a value to it?
I tried:

Jabaco Source

 
1
2

Dim c As Currency 
c = 1.5

and also:

Jabaco Source

 
1
2

Dim c As Currency 
c = CCur(1.5)

Hi,
by try-and-error I've found out that you actually can assign a "single" variable to a currency.
Internally, currency variables are treated as "double" in Jabaco.
However, if you do assign a single, it gets casted and thus truncated to a "long" internally.

My advice is not to use "currency" for the time being.
