Summary0004252: Decimal as Simple DataType
Description

Part 3 defines Decimal as a simple DataType (section 8.54). Simple DataTypes are subtypes of Built-in DataTypes (see 5.8.2). But Decimal is defined in Part 5 as subtype of Number, which is an abstract and no built-in DataType.

Changed definition of Decimal to "This subtype of the Number DataType defines a high-precision signed number. ..."

After further Workgroup review we concluded that the existing definition is correct and no change is needed.

I was listen to the recordings. The issue description already states where to look for the definition of a Simple DataType. Maybe you should read it the next time. It is, as stated, in Section 5.8.2. We have a clear definition of it:
"Simple DataTypes are subtypes of the Built-in DataTypes. They are handled on the wire like
the Built-in DataType, i.e. they cannot be distinguished on the wire from their Built-in
supertypes. Since they are handled like Built-in DataTypes regarding the encoding they cannot
have encodings defined in the AddressSpace. Clients can read the DataType Attribute of a
Variable or VariableType to identify the Simple DataType of the Value Attribute. An example of
a Simple DataType is Duration. It is handled on the wire as a Double but the Client can read
the DataType Attribute and thus interpret the value as defined by Duration (see 8.13)."
