    EGL validates the number of digits entered for numeric UI
    record fields. The EGL0703E error (Number of allowable
    significant digits exceeded) was incorrectly reported for
    int fields when a valid 10-digit number was entered.  It
    also happens with smallint fields and valid 5-digit numbers,
    bigint fields and valid 19-digit numbers, and bin fields
    with valid 5/10/19-digit numbers.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The validation code has been fixed.  The EGL0703E error will
    be given only when the input value is truly too large.
    

Temporary fix
