View with no scale / precision on summed number fields

We have many views that sum, avg, etc numeric values. The data in the tables is defined as number (9,2) but when the view is created that sums the amounts, the datatype's scale and precision are gone... just number is displayed. This forces the odbc driver to treat the datatype as an integer. What can be done in the view to force a datatype of number(9,2)?
