MATLAB: Do I receive inconsistent precision for historical data retrieved from the Bloomberg Database using the Datafeed Toolbox 1.8 (R2006a)

bloombergdatafeedDatafeed Toolboxoverwrite

I am using the Datafeed Toolbox to retrieve historical data from Bloomberg. A few days ago, I was getting the data with digits up to 4 decimal places but now I only get up to 2 decimal places. There seems to be an inconsistency in the precision.

This behavior is due to the changes in the data from Bloomberg. Bloomberg might change its interface and in particular its units which changes the precision observed in MATLAB.
