Download IBM Robotic Process Automation 21.0.0

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The "Extract CPF" commands mistakenly identifies some numbers as
  a CPF. Even though the extracted number is a valid CPF, this
  number is usually a substring of a bigger number and not a CPF
  in the text context.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
  * Users that make use of the extractCPF command                *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * If there are 0s on the left, the CPF has to have all digits  *
  * (11).                                                        *
  *                     If there are 0s on the left but CPF has  *
  * less than 11 digits (e. g. 00.000.104-05, 0.000.104-05,      *
  * 000.104-05, (...), 0104-05) it shouldn't match.              *
  *                                                              *
  *                     When the client uses the extractCPF      *
  * command with multiple CPFs and CPF-like digits, the command  *
  * returns an invalid CPF.                                      *
  *                     The fix corrected through the algorithm  *
  * regular expression evaluations to extract only those valid   *
  * CPFs.                                                        *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
