Description

Resolution:
PROBLEM:
There have been a number of changes to support the increased length of the packed decimal value returned by $REALTIMER. If your Tables use $REALTIMER as a key, a size of > (greater than) QP8 is supported; however if you use the $REALTIMER value as a Parameter value for a Table, a specification of  > QP8 is not supported.

SOLUTION:
JIRA Issue OSBZ-1271 has been raised to resolve the problem. Please open a Service Request with TIBCO Support to track this item for the availability of a fix.
