Support for a Floating-Point Value on a WHERE Filter

You can now use a floating-point single-precision (F) value or a floating-point double-precision (D) value on a WHERE filter for an active report. However, we recommend that you convert a floating-point single-precision or floating-point double-precision value to packed decimal (P) for better precision. A WHERE filter using a floating-point value can in some cases produce an imprecise result due to rounding differences unique to each database engine.

Menu Update

The Enable Transitions option on a column drop-down menu for a tabular active report on an active dashboard has been removed.

Coordinated Fields and NOPRINT

When a coordinated field is added to an active dashboard, it is added as a NOPRINT field. The coordinated field name is not displayed as part of the default chart title, and the coordinated field value that is selected on the dashboard is not concatenated to the X-axis labels.
