When the Automation Type of a parameter for a component library open in Component Builder (CB) is declared as Decimal, the Data Description list on the COBOL Definition tab of the parameter's Properties only accepts integer values for the two USAGE DISPLAY types: PIC S9(n) and PIC 9(n). Other COBOL types, do allow digits to the right of the decimal point.

STATUS
