Symptoms

We are using the Business Function B989460-Replace Value in String to replace a forward slash "/" with a hyphen "-"  for a date after converting the date to a string.  The business function works fine if the month is a single digit (i.e. 1-9, January-September). It also displays correctly if both the month and the day of the month are two digits (i.e. 10-31, 10-12.) However, if the month is two digits (10-12, October-December) and the day of the month is one digit (1-9),  the second digit of the month is appended to the end of the day.

Something similar occurs with alpha characters as well.  For example, these display properly:

• a/b/cc converts to a-b-cc,
• a/bb/cc converts to a-bb-cc,
• and aa/bb/cc converts to aa-bb-cc.

However, aa/b/cc converts to aa-ba-cc, which is incorrect.

Changes

This Business Function B989460-Replace Value in String was functioning correctly prior to our upgrade to EnterpriseOne 8.12.
