Error description

  • There are two problems related to IBM hex format:
    1) There is a bug in importing PLI header file into table
    definition using the complex flat file stage. Native type should
    be set to float instead of decimal for type BIN FLOAT or FLOAT
    2) In IS 8.1 the parallel engine support of IBM hex float format
    only worked correctly on AIX.
