Mark -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Bade, Yogesh Sent: 11 January 2013 07:27 To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: All DECIMAL and CURRENCY data has been corrupted in AR Server 8.0.00 Hi, This is a product defect where decimal input values are not handled correctly in some scenarios. This specific to RHEL 6 and above and is due to changed behavior of strcpy() function on this OS version. On previous releases of RedHat Linux this works fine. This defect will be fixed by AR Server in a future patch on 8.0. If a hot-fix is needed please contact BMC support.

It also shows the same precision in MidTier 8.0.00 and in ARUser 7.6.04. This happens for all the DEC/CURR-fields in the system. I use these extensively, as it handles multi-currency-book-keeping. The system has worked fine in many versions with very little change.
