  * RECOMMENDATION: APPLY the PTF.                               *
  ****************************************************************
  - Modules inzctrlp and inzctrlf were changed. Functions
  inzcontrolUnpDelimitedEcs(),  inzcontrolUnpExternalEcs() and
  inzcontrolFunDelimitedEcs() where changed to process correctly
  the sign character for FLOAT data.
  Additional Symptom:
  1. Module inzctrlf was changed to correctly set the padding for
  the Fastunload syntax in format DSNTIAUL. When converting from
  NULL to NOT NULL, the padding is done with the default value.
  

Problem conclusion

• APPLY the PTF.
