Error description
After upgrading from 8.2 RTM to 8.4 RTM a crosstab report fails with PDS-PPE-0104 A record was rejected. An arithmetic overflow occurred. that was running without issues in 8.2 RTM against the same database. Rerunning the report will return the report, however the report result is not matching the expected data. It seems that there is data leftover in the cache that will be reused and leading to wrong figures! Decimal precision for crosstabs was in 8.2 RTM default (7), so is it in 8.4 RTM (7).
