PQ60336; 4.0.1, 4.0.2: Problems Occur When Passing "java.math.BigDecimal" Class



APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
If you are passing the java.math.BigDecimal class between 2
different WebSphere
 domains and you migrate one of the domains to 4.03 with JDK
131,
 you may have
 problems.  The reason is that the java.math.BigDecimal class
was
 modified in JDK
 131 and the orb on older versions of WebSphere may not be able
handle the
 differences.  There are no problems passing this class between
 4.03 and 3.5.6.
