2413644 - SELECT INTO ignores leading zeros on literal numeric when determining precision

Symptom

In ASE versions prior to 15.0, the precision of a numeric column created usingI a literal value with SELECT INTO was affected by leading zeros in the literal value.
For example:

select 1.0 as c1 into t1  -- would result in a numeric(2,1) column
select 0000000001.0 as c1 into t1 -- would result in a numeric(11,1)

In later versions, the leading zeros are ignored when determining the precision of the column's datatype, both examples would result in a numeric(2,1)
