JR64290: IBM RPA - EXTRACT NUMBER COMMAND INCORRECT OUTPUT

Download IBM Robotic Process Automation 21.0.2

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The extract numbers command does not seem to be behaving
  consistently. For example, configured for the en-US culture, and
  applying in the text: "discount = R$ 43,43) After the
  expiration, I have a False return and no number. The same
  happens if I try to use the PT-BR culture in the text "discount
  = R$ 43.43) Charge after expiration".

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
  * all customers using extract number or money commands which   *
  * input would have the number between parenthesis              *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * the extract number commands had a limitation in some         *
  * situations where the number was between parenthesis. With    *
  * the fix, it now extracts the number as expected.             *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
