1999111 - substr() returns unexpected value - Data Services 4.1

Symptom

  • After upgrading Data Services from 4.0 to 4.1 SP2, the same substr() function returns different/unexpected value on numbers.  For example,
    • Query.DI_GENERATED_DATE = (((year(Date_Generation.DI_GENERATED_DATE) * 10000) + (month(Date_Generation.DI_GENERATED_DATE) * 100)) + day_in_month(Date_Generation.DI_GENERATED_DATE))
    • substr(Query.DI_GENERATED_DATE,1,6)
    • On 4.0 it returned 6 numbers, like 201201, 201302, 201405 etc.  But on 4.1 it only returns 4 numbers - 2012, 2013 etc.
  • The issue does not happen if uncheck the SELECT option "Distinct rows" in Query transform.
