PowerShell - select number with decimal separator (DB2 SQL) - powershell

Question

Cannot figure out how to contain decimal separator when selecting DB2 data with PowerShell.
DB2 table contains column with item price:
+------+---------+
| Item | Price |
+------+---------+
| A | 99,104 |
| B | 27,05 |
| C | 320,001 |
+------+---------+
This is part from Powershell script which gets this data:
$SQL = "SELECT Item, Price FROM Inventory"
$connection = New-Object System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection
$connection.ConnectionString = "DSN=$DNS;UID=$USERNAME;password=$PASSWORD"
$connection.open() | Get-Item -ErrorAction Stop
$cmd = New-object System.Data.Odbc.OdbcCommand($SQL,$connection)
$result = New-Object system.Data.DataSet
(New-Object system.Data.odbc.odbcDataAdapter($cmd)).fill($result) # here comma gets removed from Price
$connection.close()
$result.Tables[0] | Export-Csv -NoTypeInformation -Delimiter -Encoding UTF8 $OutputFile
This somehow selects data without decimals which is incorrect - prices are now enourmously high:
99104
2705
320001
I though that comma is removed during Export-Csv so added -UseCulture, but result is the same. It appears that comma is removed when data is selected:
New-Object system.Data.odbc.odbcDataAdapter($cmd)
My question is how can I fix this? Is there additional parameter or something is missing here?

I cant place a comment yet.
As others asked, what is the datatype for you price column at the database? Per your output it's left justified, so it does not seems to be a numeric type.
Making a simple test here with PRODUCT table from db2sample database:
And, also, you may try to use IBM.Data.Db2 .Net provider instead of using ODBC.
$dbFactory = [System.Data.Common.DbProviderFactories]::GetFactory('IBM.Data.DB2')
$connection = $dbFactory.CreateConnection()
$connection.ConnectionString = "Database=SAMPLE"
$connection.Open()
$da = $dbFactory.CreateDataAdapter()
$ds = new-object "System.Data.DataSet"
$cmd = $dbFactory.CreateCommand()
$cmd.Connection = $connection
$cmd.CommandText = "SELECT PID, PRICE FROM PRODUCT"
$da.SelectCommand = $cmd
$da.Fill($ds)
$ds.Tables[0]
Produces the expected decimal format.
PID PRICE
--- -----
100-100-01 9,99
100-101-01 19,99
100-103-01 49,99
100-201-01 3,99
$ds.Tables[0].Columns[1].DataType
IsPublic IsSerial Name BaseType
