Asterisk-filled fields in EPILOG reports
You might notice asterisk-filled fields in EPILOG reports. Asterisk-filled fields contain values that, if displayed, will overflow the output area, resulting in misleading, high-order digit truncation.
In the following DETAIL report example, the maximum precision of
the
AVG. RSP. TIME
field is 8,6, which is 8 bytes
with 6 bytes to the right of the decimal place. The largest number
that can display is 9.999999. Therefore, asterisk-filled fields display
when values exceed 9.999999. Values greater than 10 seconds are considered
unusual.+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
