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.

Removal of Export to Option From the Chart Menu

If a WebFOCUS StyleSheet for an active report procedure contains the following code to remove the Export option for a report, the Export to option on the chart menu is also removed:

TYPE=REPORT, ALLOW-EXPORT=OFF, $

You access the chart menu by running a chart from the active report. In previous releases, the Export to option appeared on the leftmost icon on the chart tool bar.
