Hello Friends,

We have just installed WF 7.6.11 and migrated our applications from WF 7.1.4. But some of our reports started giving wrong values. e.g. We have one define field

FIELD/A22.1=TABLE_FIELD/1000000;

The value of TABLE_FIELD/1000000 comes out to be 4.4861 but the field displayed in 7.6.11 is 4.4 which should be 4.5 as it is coming in 7.1.4.

Has anybody faced a similar issue with 7.6.11?


regards,
Deepak

A22.1 is not a valid format specifier. Did you mean D22.1?

It works fine here:
APP APPENDPATH IBISAMP
-RUN

DEFINE FILE CAR
	VALUE/D22.1 = 4486100/1000000;
END
TABLE FILE CAR
	PRINT VALUE CAR
WHERE RECORDLIMIT EQ 1;
END

4.5 in v7.6.8.

It's called "rounding", so, is it "wrong" or is it just "different"?

I don't think D22 is valid either. I thought the max was D15.

The documentation all says 16 display characters for D format including the minus sign.

But I believe that this is nolonger correct.

20 display characters is valid and is generally generated against relational tables for numbers
as D20.2.

However the numeric funtions such as FTOA still only accept a maximum of 15.
