PK96987: Calculation results incorrect when mathlib.decimal or mathlib. precision is used with another function like mathlib.round

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Rational Business Developer V7.1.0.4:
  
  Running EGL generated COBOL programs, the calculation results
  are incorrect when the mathlib.decimal or mathlib.precision
  functions are used in conjection with another function like
  mathlib.round and the argument passed in to the mathlib.decimal
  or mathlib.precision is an array element.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• The IR visit for an integer literal needed to be ignored for
  the mathlib decimal and precision functions, when the
  argument was an array element with a literal index. This
  affected the logic of other functions that used the decimal
  function, like mathlib round, resulting in incorrect values
  being returned.
  

Problem conclusion

• Software updated. Fixtest available.
  

Temporary fix
