APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
Very large numbers (> 99,999,999,999) display in scientific notation (e.g.,3.2490E+12) rather than as numbers in line data. Totals of columns that include such numbers also display in notation. Charts that attempt to plot such large numbers fail with an arithmetic overflow error: PDS-PPE-0104 A record was rejected. An arithmetic overflow occurred. PDS-PPE-0104 A record was rejected. An arithmetic overflow occurred. (Data) We know that the product has a limitation on significant digits but even dividing by something like 1000000 still gives the error on the FIRST run but a second run with query caching enabled has the report render correctly. We would expect the behavior to be consistent - either always work or always fail with an error and logical explanation

The logic of cached query reusing was fixed. The repetitive exec ution of the report returns the same error message regardless of whether query caching is enabled or not.
