Global Updates - Update Numeric Values to Y-Type Items

Y-type data items are treated as text items purely containing numeric values and, as such, you were not allowed to update these items via the Global Updates to a Database function from numeric item types (K / L / M / J / *). From Release 6.2 these updates will be allowed, copying the significant figures and omitting any decimal places from the updated value.
