After upgrading from PeopleTools (PT) 8.57.16 to 8.60.04, IsDate("20191113") returns False. Prior to the upgrade, the same function call returned True.

2. Log into PIA, and run the AE program (Navigation: PeopleTools > Process Scheduler > Schedule Process Requests).

3. Open the file above, and observe that IsDate("20191113") returns False, while IsDate(20191113) returns True.
