Closed as program error.
Error description
Rational Business Developer V7.1.0.4: Running EGL generated COBOL programs, the calculation results are incorrect when the mathlib.decimal or mathlib.precision functions are used in conjection with another function like mathlib.round and the argument passed in to the mathlib.decimal or mathlib.precision is an array element.
Local fix
Problem summary
The IR visit for an integer literal needed to be ignored for the mathlib decimal and precision functions, when the argument was an array element with a literal index. This affected the logic of other functions that used the decimal function, like mathlib round, resulting in incorrect values being returned.
Problem conclusion
Software updated. Fixtest available.
Temporary fix
