PROGRUN/REPPRINT - Incorrect evaluation of formulas - K4000033 - 12 October 2001

On the RS6000 and other non Intel platforms there is a bug in the formula processor built into QAB evaluator. Formulas using variables of types I and L can be calculated incorrectly. This is because internally they are converted to type N, and they should be given scale factor 0. On the RS6000 for "local" variables the scale factor is not initialised.

Where the version affected is given as 4.5xx or 4.6xx, all versions of DP4 issued prior to the date of the fix are potentially affected. Where a specific version number is given the problem was introduced by that release and prior releases are unaffected.
