Behavior change

The 4.38 GA main27765 Snap Pack version that included the SAP library upgrade introduced the following behavior change:
In JCo 3.1.4, if a decimal number couldn't be stored in a BCD field, it was rounded, resulting in a loss of precision. This behavior was removed in JCo 3.1.9, and instead, a conversion error is raised when this condition is detected.

Here's an example of a conversion error:

Note from SAP documentation mentioned in SAP Note 3446411 (Version: 4, Released On: 04.04.2024):

This happened at calling API method JCoRecord.setValue([name|index], BigDecimal) for a type BCD field or parameter, if the fraction part of the provided java.math.BigDecimal value had too many digits to fully fit into the BCD field. In this case, the provided BigDecimal value was unintentionally rounded instead of throwing an appropriate ConversionException for notifying the caller about the value not fitting into the BCD field. Hence, there might have been an unnoticed loss of precision.

Workaround:

Before passing the parameter value to SAP, modify the value by rounding or truncating to ensure it fits into the target BCD field.
