RS03078: BAL SENTENCE 'IS ONE OF' IS NOT WORKING WITH BIGDECIMAL IN DE

Operational Decision Manager V8.9.2.1 Fix Pack

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• the BAL rule:
  
  if 'big number' is one of { 4.0, 4.5 } then ...
  
  is not fired in DE if 'big number' is set to 'new
  BigDecimal("4")', while it is fired in CRE.
  

Local fix

• You need to transform 4 into 4.0 before the evaluation. It can
  be done with b2x
  
  bom:
  public static final java.math.BigDecimal BigDecimal(double
  toconvert);
  b2x:
  java.lang.String str = java.lang.Double.toString(toconvert);
  return new java.math.BigDecimal( str );
  voc:
  tools.Tool.BigDecimal(double)#phrase.navigation = the
  bigDecimal {0}
  
  and the rule is written
  
  then
  set the WTNominal MM of Converter to the bigDecimal 4;
  
  or you can also write
  
  if
  the bigDecimal the WTNominal MM of Converter is one of {4.0 ,
  4.5}
  then
  print "WT ok";
  else
  print "WT Nok" ;
  

Problem summary

• With the Decision Engine the BAL sentence 'is one of' is not
  working with BigDecimal.  For instance, the BAL rule:
  if 'big number' is one of { 4.0, 4.5 } then ...
  is not fired in DE if 'big number' is set to 'new
  BigDecimal("4")', while it is fired in CRE.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code is fixed.
  

Temporary fix

• You need to transform 4 into 4.0 before the evaluation. It can
  be done with bom to xom mapping.
  bom:
  public static final java.math.BigDecimal BigDecimal(double
  toconvert);
  bom to xom (b2x):
  java.lang.String str = java.lang.Double.toString(toconvert);
  return new java.math.BigDecimal( str );
  voc:
  tools.Tool.BigDecimal(double)#phrase.navigation = the
  bigDecimal {0}
  and the rule is written
  then
  set the WTNominal MM of Converter to the bigDecimal 4;
  or you can also write
  if
  the bigDecimal the WTNominal MM of Converter is one of {4.0 ,
  4.5}
  then
  print "WT ok";
  else
  print "WT Nok" ;
