Hi Team,

As part of our requirement user will enter more than 15 digits of decimal values in decimal control which is bound to variable of type DECIMAL. It is accepting lessthan or equal to 15 digits only. We do not want to use string type as it requires many changes in our code base.

example : 12345678912345678.258259  this is invalid as per the decimal data type.

is there a way to avoid this issue ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Pavan,

The Decimal control is based upon the specifications of the Decimal type in IBM BAW.  If you feel that the type should support a longer input, please submit a Request for Enhancement to IBM:
