APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Search in files failed to return results using Term pattern
  containing dot character (eg 4.0).
  

Local fix

• n/a
  

Problem summary

• Search will now find and return results when searching for
  numbers with decimal point.
  
  For example, all following numbers can be searched for:
  
  4.0
  123.4567
  -987.90
  0.34
  +34.80
  
  However, searching for any string containing dots, for example
  strings like: ab.def or xx.8a or xyz.x60.abc will not return any
  results. To find strings like these, search for: aa def instead
  of aa.def, xyz x60 abc instead of xyz.x60.abc etc.
