APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Calculated columns give wrong results with negative operators.
    For example:
    
    add-months(2010-01-01, -1)
    -> should return 2009-12-01 but returns 2009-11-30
    
    Same problem in 8.4 and 8.4.1.  However, Transformer 7.4 works
    OK.
