Just a wild guess, but maybe the DECIMAL data type?

$ help/library=basichelp data_types decimal


DATA_TYPES

  DECIMAL

     The DECIMAL(d,s) data type keyword specifies  packed  decimal  data.   A
     packed  decimal  value  has  a  specified  number  of  digits  (d) and a
     specified decimal point position (s).
