Hi Mike,

What do you have for SET DECIMALS and SET FIXED? Both of these are scoped to the data session. Try this:

SET DECIMALS TO 
SET FIXED OFF
? TRANSFORM(1234567890123456)
SET DECIMALS TO 4
SET FIXED ON
? TRANSFORM(1234567890123456)

The question remains though, why the sudden change in the behaivor of your app. I'm sure these two haven't changed in years.
