    This has not been raised by any other CICS PA customers so it is not something we can address at this time. If this is still an issue please raise another RFE.

    Hi Sylvie, As discussed during the on-site visit, You would rather not use HDB to load data into DB2 so we suggested you use Performance extract with the Numeric Fields in Float format to create the data ready for loading into DB2. Please let us know if we can close this RFE.
