  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:  Users using web services calls with String  *
    *                  variables.                                  *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: String is being converted into Date     *
    *                      type when invoking a web services.      *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    If a process involves a String value and invokes a web
    services, potentially the String may be unintentionally
    converted to Date type.  The String has to be in a certain
    combination of characters for this issue to happen.
    For example, in such case we have seen when passing a String
    value with "-862-0-5-5-" into the process, the String is
    converted to Date and returns with a modified value,
    "0864-12-04" when passing through web services compnent.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The code has been modified to properly pass the String value
    when invoking web services. The convertion from
    String to Date type will no longer happen unexpectedly.  This
    fix has been integrated into the v8.0.1.0 refreshpack.
