Symptoms
ETEXT template with sql function SUBSTR not working with a negative number and need to truncate from the right instead of the left in the BIP desktop tool.
The problem can be reproduced with the following steps:
1. Fetch last 10 digits from right, we use the SQL function below:
select SUBSTR('80003007853',-10) from dual;
2. Result : 0003007853 (Correct), but in ETEXT template, the same function gives the first 10 digits from left which is incorrect:
SUBSTR('80003007853',-10)
The results: 8000300785 (are wrong).
