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.
