Dropping Decimal Points??

OK, I'm stumpped on this one!

Here is my SQL Statement:
      SELECT      Item.bat_id,;
            Item.client_id,;
            SUM(IIF(Item.bal_doc=='N',1,0)) AS CorrCount,;
            SUM(IIF(Item.doc_type==STUB_TYPE,1,0)) AS StubCount,;
            SUM(IIF(Item.doc_type==STUB_TYPE,Item.appl_amt,0)) AS StubTotal,;
            SUM(IIF(Item.doc_type==CHECK_TYPE,1,0)) AS CheckCount,;
            SUM(IIF(Item.doc_type==CHECK_TYPE,Item.appl_amt,0)) AS CheckTotal;
      FROM      &Item_alias Item;
      WHERE      EMPTY(ALLTRIM(Item.Rej_job));
      GROUP BY Item.bat_id, Item.client_id;
      INTO TABLE Items

Here is what is happening...The IIF Statement that looks for the STUB_TYPE and then takes the appl_amt works FINE!!!  It creates a Total with Decmials...the LINE with the CheckTotal which is the same command using the same field to add an amount together is dropping the decimal points...see attached Screen Shot!

WHY???

Thanks,
