1891724 - ToWords function displays incorrect output in Polish language in Crystal Reports

Symptom

  • ToWords function output incorrect value.
  • When using the ToWords function in Crystal Reports, it does not always translate the number correctly in Polish language.

Environment

  • Crystal Reports 2008
  • SAP Crystal Reports 2011
  • SAP Crystal Reports 2013

Reproducing the Issue

  1. In Crystal Reports, create a report off any data source.
  2. Set the preferred viewing local in Crystal Reports to Polish.
  3. Create a formula using the ToWords function to translate in words a negative value that uses decimals, like:

          ToWords(-5.5)
      
  4. Insert the formula on the report.
  5. When viewing the report, notice the formula output : minus sześć i 50 / 100
    which is incorrect, because if we translate it, it is    : minus six and 50/100

    When the expectation will be to output : minus pięć i 50 / 100
    If we translate it will be                          : minus five and 50/100

Cause

  • The issue occurs mainly with negative numbers with decimal values between 5 and 9, as it seems to round up the value when it should not.
  • The issue has been identified and logged under Problem Report ID ADAPT01699946
