APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
When using an ITX 10.1.1 map it may be noticed that adding two partitioned objects that are defined as number (with all sub components also defined as number) will result in concatenation instead of addition.
Local fix
ITXCQ - ITX00061836 PB / PB Circumvention: A series of EITHER() functions can be used in the rule to check each sub-component, before using that instead of the parent partitioned object.
Problem summary
Users Affected: IBM Transformation Extender users numeric partitioned groups. Problem Description: Failure to perform arithmetic on numeric partitioned item, acts as if text field and concatenates data. Platforms Affected: All
Problem conclusion
Properly handle numeric partitioned groups. Previously numeric partitioned groups would not be converted to numeric format. Now if all the sub elements of numeric partitioned group are numeric ITX will convert the partitioned group to numeric field. Applies to: 10.1.1.1, 10.1.2.0 Fixed in the next service packs and releases. To obtain the fix for this APAR: To see if the next service pack or product release is available, check the IBM Transformation Extender Release Notes page: https://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27008337 If the service pack or product release is available, download it from Fix Central: http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/ If the service pack or product release is not available and you require the APAR fix immediately, request a Limited Availability Interim Fix (LAIF) by opening a case: https://www.ibm.com/mysupport/ Prior to version 9.0.0, IBM Transformation Extender was called IBM WebSphere Transformation Extender.
