Error description
There is a possibility that results of numeric truncation could differ between EGL v6 and EGL v7. However, the difference is li mited to the following situation: 1.) The target variable is defined as a type NUM field. 2.) The source is a literal. 3.) The number of digits in the literal to the right of the dec imal place exceed the number of decimal places defined in the nu mber variable 4.) The value in the digits to the right of the number of decim al places have to cause rounding (i.e. greater than 5). Example: myNum num(14,4); myNum = '-987654321.123456789'; SysLib.writeStdout(' ' + myNum); The result would be -987654321.1235
Local fix
