Float point data editting and conversion in DFSORT

It would be great value-add feature if DFSORT supports float point data editting and conversion in future version/release.

It's been mentioned in PMR 41300,057,649 that there is a DCR MR0304147529. I'd like to re-submit this request here for my own tracking purpose.

    This item is a valid requirement but unlikely to be given high enough priority to be placed into the product plan.

    Floating Point data editing and conversion is added to the list of candidates for future enhancements to DFSORT, but it's a long list, and all of the items have to be prioritized against each other. Suggestions are always welcome, but we can't discuss specifics or make any promises.
