Symptoms:
In SDL TMS 2011, the Job Details page is not accessible for jobs created based on a Cost Formula that contains at least one Cost Variable which uses the MIN orMAX operator. The tasks within this job are sent to Recovery once reaching the Cost Calculation stage.

Explanation:
This problem is caused by an improper interpretation of the MIN/MAX operators during a cost formula evaluation.

Resolution:
We have created two new database functions, each evaluating a specific operator (for example, one for MIN and one for MAX). Delegating the MIN/MAX calculation to specialized functions enables the main Cost Formula to only handle the actual results of the MIN/MAX operator, which solves the issue and no longer affects the availability of the Job Details page.
