Error description
In non-English locale, casting character as float or double may result in rounding numbers after the decimal mark. This is due to specific system settings, where decimal separator in the locale is not a decimal point, while in other system settings it is defined as decimal point.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM Integration Bus V9.0 and V10.0 with a non-English locale environment using custom ESQL which casts strings to double or float. Platforms affected: z/OS, MultiPlatform **************************************************************** PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: With a non-English locale, casting character strings as float or double may result in rounding numbers after the decimal symbol. This is due to specific system settings where the decimal separator in the locale is defined as a different symbol to the decimal point, a comma (',') for example, but in other system settings it is defined as a decimal point ('.').
Problem conclusion
The product now has an environment variable MQSI_IGNORE_DECIMAL_SEP_LOCALE that allow users to control which decimal separator is appropriate for their system. If this environment variable is set to any value, the locale's decimal symbol will be ignored and a decimal point ('.') will be used instead. --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: Version Maintenance Level v10.0 10.0.0.10 v9.0 9.0.0.9 The latest available maintenance can be obtained from: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=849&uid=swg27006041 If the maintenance level is not yet available,information on its planned availability can be found on: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=849&uid=swg27006308 ---------------------------------------------------------------
