IV24445: BMXAA4163E- THE VALUE SPECIFIED EXCEEDS THE MAXIMUM FIELD LENGTH FOR THE LINE COST

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Estimate for a CU request results in an Error Message stating
  
  'BMXAA4163E- The Value specified 2.081805E8 exceeds the Maximum
  field length for the Line Cost'.
  
  Steps to replicate:
  
  
  1) Go to Work Order Tracking (T&D) and create a Work Order;
  2) Create Estimate Request with WO specified in the request
  number;
  3) Add Station details;
  4) Add CU Details;
  5) Go to CU Estimation (T&D), Perform estimation, check the
  total cost.
  The total cost is less than the maximum field length of the line
  cost(10with scale of 2)
  Perform estimate, the error appears indicating that the line
  cost value
  has been exceeded.
