RELATED IDEAS

Need to increase the size of the formatted columns from the existing limit of 6 to something much greater such as 15 or user defined

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Today when create a report for things such as TOTAL DL/I calls over a several hour period the column is returned in scientific format if the return value exceeds 6 digits.
For example, returned as: 4.4228E+08.

This makes reading the report via difficult, if not impossible because you need to manually convert the data back to a standard format.

See the sample report below:

SUMM0001 Printed at 12:59:09 05Feb2025     Data from 01.00.00 05Feb2025 to 01.29.59 05Feb2025

               Tot        Avg        Avg        Avg
Database    DB Call    DB DLET    DB ISRT    DB REPL
DBD Name      Count      Count      Count      Count
-        4.4228E+08       0.00       0.00       0.01
ALLCTF    5,956,081       0.14       0.92    2423.74
ALLXDTF      23,186       0.00       3.19       3.78
ALLXUL0   6,032,644     141.04       7.46   23288.75
ALLXUL1     825,161       0.00       2.46       4.71
ALLXUL2   7,592,947       0.00       1.02       0.01
ALLZICA     949,841       0.00       2.37       3.97

I believe this issue exists for ALL numeric report columns and not just those tied to the report I was creating.

Please increased the maximum number of digits from 6 to something much larger as 15 or better yet, let me define the maximum size.
