Closed as program error.
Error description
Information Analyzer using data qulaity rule with matches_format and 'x' operator does not match any alphanumeric value, regardless of casing as documented.
Local fix
Use matches_regex or construct matches_format to use format operators that do not contain 'x', if possible. Fix available in 8.1.2 Fix Pack 5
Problem summary
******************************************************* USERS AFFECTED: Users of Information Analyzer versions 8.1.1 and higher. ******************************************************* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Character pattern 'x' in matches_format should match any alphanumeric character. **************************************************************** RECOMMENDATION: Upgrade to Information Analyzer 8.1.2 Fix Pack 5, or 8.5 Fix Pack 1, or 8.7.
Problem conclusion
Feature was not implemented previously but was listed in the documentation. Feature is implemented now.
Temporary fix
In many cases, a more performant solution would be for the user to specify matching formats via a regex expression.
