Error description
Rational Business Developer V7.5.1.6: When using Java wrappers generated from VisualAge Generator (VAGen) to call iSeries COBOL programs generated from VAGen, fields defined a NUM or NUMC do not pass negative values properly to the COBOL program. In addition, NUMC fields are incorrectly changed to negative numbers on the Java side. The following is the behavior seen: - Whether the Java value is positive or negative, on the way outbound from Java the sign for NUM and NUMC fields is set to F instead of D or C. - The value received by the VAGen COBOL program is treated as positive (due to F sign) whether a positive or negative value is sent. - On return, values NOT modified by the VAGen COBOL program still have F in the sign, and the NUMC Java values are flipped to negative (due to F sign). Apparently, the Java side conversion logic on the way back for NUMC goes if C, then positive otherwise negative. - Values modified by the VAGen COBOL program are returned with the proper sign (D or C - or 'F' for positive NUM fields) and the resulting Java values has the proper sign.
