Emulated archives do not include decimals for MIN and MAX values

Emulated archives do not include decimals for MIN and MAX values

Summary

For emulated archives MIN and MAX values for a REAL variable were  displayed without decimal places. This behavior has been fixed. To get correct values again in existing archives, perform the steps mentioned in "Description".

Description

When creating an emulated archive that calculates MIN and MAX for a REAL variable with decimal places, the decimal places were truncated.

Cause: 
An incorrect data type was used for a temporary buffer variable. This caused the decimal places to be truncated.

 

Solution:

The buffer now uses the correct data type.

The calculation works with decimal places as expected.

 

To take advantage of this fix:

  1. Update to the latest build of Report Engine (formerly Analyzer) 3.40, 10 or 11.
  2. Start and connect Reporting Studio (formerly ZAMS).
  3. Click on "Update SQL Server extensions".
  4. This corrects the calculation routine in the database.
  5. Open emulated archive configuration.
  6. Delete existing emulated archive data of all affected archives:
    1. Open affected archive.
    2. Click "Make editable".
    3. Confirm the delete-data-security-question.
    4. Confirm the dialog.
  7. Confirm the dialog.
    This deletes data of all archives marked as modified in step 6.
    Data will be recalculated when executing the calculation the next time as scheduled.
