Error description
Rational Business Developer V7.5.1.5: Numeric edits are not removed when the type for a variable field is changed from numeric to non-numeric. The following messages are found in the Problems view after the form is saved: IWN.VAL.3194.e 4/32 Property CurrencySymbol must be defined with a numeric primitive. The type of this item is char. IWN.VAL.5342.e 4/3 Property: fieldLen. The value for this property for field VariableFormField1 is invalid. For char and mbchar types, the value must match the primitive length. For dbchar, it must match the bytes. It must be an integer that is the number of bytes needed to display the largest number in the type declaration with all formatting characters. IWN.VAL.3194.e 4/105 Property NumericSeparator must be defined with a numeric primitive. The type of this item is char. IWN.VAL.3194.e 4/89 Property Sign must be defined with a numeric primitive. The type of this item is char. IWN.VAL.3194.e 4/71 Property ZeroFormat must be defined with a numeric primitive. The type of this item is char. IWN.VAL.3194.e 4/55 Property Currency must be defined with a numeric primitive. The type of this item is char. VisualAge Generator removes these edits when a field is changed from numeric to non-numeric.

Problem conclusion
The developer investigated and found that the change of field type was not "informing" the EGL Form Editor source code of the type change, and therefore the properties for a non-numeric field were not being refreshed in the Properties / Attributes view. Change made to source to inform of type change, with the result that properties are now updated. Eg: Properties for non-numeric type now show in view.
