Problem summary
**************************************************************** * 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.
