Symptoms

On : 12.0 version, Designing Layout Templates

ACTUAL BEHAVIOR
---------------
When a user inputs a value of '4052' into the RTF Template which makes use of function 'xdoxsIt:toCheckNumber', the value will execute incorrectly, or as relayed in the example, as a negative value.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR
-----------------------
Use of any value, using function 'xdoxsIt:toCheckNumber', should result in the numeric value being written out correctly, and for the numeric amount expected.

STEPS
-----------------------
The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:
1. Open and login to BI Publisher application
2. Attempt to use RTF Template that makes use of function 'xdoxsIt:toCheckNumber', which writes out check amounts
3. Note that when the value '4052' is used, the amount will be a negative number ,such as '-85,100.00'.

Other variations:
If the value begins with a 2-, 40, or 60 AND ends with a 2 before the decimal it doesn't work. All other scenarios seem to work. So 4052, 2002, and 6062 for example won't work. 4053, 2102 or 7062 do work. There may be possible variants as well.

BUSINESS IMPACT
-----------------------

Due to this issue, users are not able to use the specific value of '4052' in their RTF Template
