31) The declared type of the <simple value specification> simply
contained in <fetch first percentage> shall be numeric.
Note that unlike <fetch first row count> there is no requirement for the
type to be _exact_ numeric or to have scale 0.
later:
ii) If <fetch first percentage> is specified, then let FFP be the
<simple value specification> simply contained in <fetch first
percentage>, and let LOCT be a <literal> whose value is OCT. Let
FFRC be the value of
CEILING ( FFP * LOCT / 100.0E0 )
NOTE 333 -- The percentage is computed using the number
of rows before removing the rows specified by <offset
row count>.
ceil(20.3 * 1000 / 100.0E0) is definitely 203, not 200.
