Problem Note 13940: Decimal value entered in Table Viewer cell might not match decimal value displayed
In a Table Viewer control within a SAS/AF FRAME entry or in the
VIEWTABLE window using table-view mode, if you decrease the decimal
specification of the format associated to a numeric column,
interactively modify a value in that column, and then subsequently
increase the decimal specification of the format, the value displayed in
the viewer might not match the value you entered. For example, if you have
a numeric column with a format of 12.4 and you assign the value
112.1234
you will see this exact value displayed in the viewer. If you then
change the format assigned to this column to 12.2 and assign the value
112.12
you will again see this exact value displayed in the viewer. However, if
you subsequently change the format assigned to this column to 12.4, the
value that displays in the viewer will be
112.1234
when it should instead be 112.12.
