Shouldn't the Cost field always be a "money " type? (and in micros)

[Bejan @ MarketFlare]

We use the Report Definition Service to get field data for all report types. Also, we refer to this super handy data for field descriptions:

https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports/all-reports.csv

We noticed that in a couple reports the "Cost" field is specified as long and not as money type.

The money type field cues our AdWords reporting software to convert from micros, and the Cost field data is in micros.

The two reports that show Cost as long are TOP_CONTENT_PERFORMANCE_REPORT and VIDEO_PERFORMANCE_REPORT

Is this by design or will it be fixed?

Thanks!

Also, TOP_CONTENT_PERFORMANCE_REPORT has AverageCpc as double instead of money type.

And FINAL_URL_REPORT has Conversions as long instead of double as it is in every other report.
