APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Using the copy function (CTRL C) in CICS PA in EXPLORER when
  the data is pasted into an EXCEL worksheet or WORD doc or
  NOTEPAD, the values are rounded to three decimal places.  The
  data display in EXPLORER shows six decimal places with no
  rounding.  So therefore, some data gets rounded down to a zero
  value.

Local fix

Problem summary

• The PA plug-in offers the facility to select data in a table
  view and copy it to the clipboard. This can then be pasted, for
  example, into Excel. Although the data is displayed in tables
  with a precision of 6 decimal places, the copy placed in the
  clipboard only has a precision of 3 decimal places.
  

Problem conclusion

• The PA plug-in now allows data to be selected in a table view,
  and for it to be copied and pasted into Excel with a precision
  of 6 decimal places.
  This fix will be made available in Versions 5.4.0.1 and 5.3.0.5
  of the CICS PA Plug-in.
