Operator
(Operator Instructions) We will go first to Kevin Buttigieg with Stanford Group.
Kevin Buttigieg - Stanford Group
Thank you. Just on the outlook then, you mentioned slightly reducing the revenue and the total bookings growth rates -- about how much of that did you say was attributable to currency and how much of that would you say would be attributable to just kind of taking a cautious look at the outlook.
Stephen B. Solcher
Kevin, for the full year, it’s going to be different on both, so -- I’ve got a little echo here -- on bookings, it’s going to be about three points for currency for the full year and about a point or two for the broader macro market and then on revenue, we are really not taking anything down for the broader market and the growth is impacted about a point for currency.
Kevin Buttigieg - Stanford Group
Okay, and then you are more than making that up on the EPS side with the cost savings?
Stephen B. Solcher
That’s correct.
Kevin Buttigieg - Stanford Group
Would it be a similar impact on the cash flow side as well?
Stephen B. Solcher
You know, the cash flow, probably not as impactful. On the bookings side, because some of that macro -- or actually, let me backtrack, some of that currency impact is going to be in the fourth quarter and that will not impact cash flow for this fiscal year.
Kevin Buttigieg - Stanford Group
Okay. And what about the -- how did the quarter shape up at the end of the quarter? A number of other players out there have sort of talked about seeing a weakness emerge in the last couple of days. Did you see anything like that?
Robert E. Beauchamp
Kevin, we did not. In fact, we were a little bit holding our breath to see if that was going to happen to us and we had absolutely no evidence of it. And we saw the transactions we had in flight come in and we had a few that came in a day or two late, but everything came in that -- no deals disintegrated as a result of the economy, nor did it even come up in the discussions as we went through our close of quarter, those last few days. We didn’t hear that the company pulled back, any of our customers pulled back. The deals lined up and went down just like a normal quarter.
