[SHARING] v7.6.5 - FML: RECAP not calculated correctly when a datavalue is null

In an FML report, a RECAP is not calculated correctly when a datavalue is null in v7.6.5 - an incorrect number is displayed. This worked correctly in v5.3.4

SET COMPMISS = OFF seems to have saved the day.

I would like to know if anyone else had to code the COMPMISS setting, and is it safe to have this setting turned OFF for all reports.

This has to do with a behaviour change. In the past (v5.3.4) it appears that MISSING=ON was not added to the HOLD file Masters. Now in v7.6.5 it IS passed and this missing data causes incorrect calculations in FML RECAPs.

Where needed, you could always specify ON TABLE SET HOLDMISS OFF in the request that creates the hold file. That would bring back the old 534 behaviour in not saving missing values to the hold file. Or, of course as you already found out, the COMPMISS in the request with the recaps.

In the past, when a new option was added, the default setting would be to NOT alter the behaviour, this setting by default alters WebFOCUS behaviour and results in incorrect report results. I'd understand if the report triggered an error, but actually producing incorrect results - that's just wrong.

I just verified that the default setting for HOLDMISS is OFF in both v5.3.4 and v7.6.5 so I don't know why v7.6.5 behaves differently Confused
