APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If more than the maximum value allowed for type integer
  (2147483647) is entered into an integer input field in a coach,
  which is bound to an integer variable,
  the following error is thrown (using 2147483648 for example):
  
  Error
  Type mismatch. Expected "Integer" type, but found:
  "java.lang.Long".Value: "2,147,483,648"
  

Local fix

• Enter a valid integer value
  

Problem summary

• When a value outside [-2147483648, 2147483647] is entered in an
  Integer control bound to an Integer type variable and POSTed to
  the server, the server throws exceptions.
  
  USER AFFECTED:
  Business Process Manager Advanced, Standard and Expresss users
  who use Integer control to edit Integer type variable.
  
  PROBLEM DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
  Integer control does not provide default min and max values for
  their corresponding config options.
  

Problem conclusion

• For Decimal control, insert the if statements into Decimal's
  load() to provide default minimum and maximum values when the
  user doesn't provide them and the binding type is Integer:
   ...
   var decimalPlaces = this.context.options.decimalPlaces &&
  this.context.options.decimalPlaces.get("value") != undefined
         ? this.context.options.decimalPlaces.get("value") : 2;
   var minimumValue = this.context.options.minimumValue &&
  this.context.options.minimumValue.get("value") != undefined
         ? this.context.options.minimumValue.get("value") : null;
   //insert
   if (minimumValue == null &&  this.context.binding &&
  this.context.bindingType() == "Integer") {
    minimumValue = -2147483648;
   }
   //insert
   var maximumValue = this.context.options.maximumValue &&
  this.context.options.maximumValue.get("value") != undefined
         ? this.context.options.maximumValue.get("value") : null;
      //insert
   if (maximumValue == null &&  this.context.binding &&
  this.context.bindingType() == "Integer") {
    maximumValue = 2147483647;
   }
   //insert
   var stepSize = this.context.options.stepSize &&
  this.context.options.stepSize.get("value") != undefined
