Thisfunction only prevents errors during string-to-number conversions. A error can still occur during arithmetic operations.This function is provided for MSM compatibility. Specifying $ZUTIL(55,8) to set MSMlanguage mode automatically sets $ZUTIL(69,45).Invoking $ZUTIL(69,45) without specifyingn returns the current switch setting.ParametersnThe switch that determines whether number truncation occurs. 0 = Do not truncate largenumbers; issue a error. 1 = During string-to-number conversion, truncatelarge numbers and suppress errors.$ZUTIL(69,45,0) is the default setting for the switch in all language modes except MSMmode. This configuration default cannot be changed using the System Management Portal.Setting $ZUTIL(69,45) overrides the System Configuration default; it does not change theconfiguration setting.Caché ObjectScript Reference 675
