PM82731: CELLS WITH VERY SMALL VALUES SHOW ZEROES RATHER THAN SCIENTIFIC NOTATION.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Prior to 19.0.2, when you edited a cell with a very small value
  (typically < 0.000001), we would display the value in scientific
  notation (1E-8 in this case).  Now we just show ".000000".  If
  you change the format of the cell to show more decimals, the
  displayed value is correct, but it still shows all zeros when
  you edit it.
  

Local fix

• This issue will be addressed in the next Fix Pack. Please refer
