TITLE
Bug in ConvertToStr() and RateStr()
Localization Functionality
|
|
|
TOPIC
Versions of the Currency Server software
prior to 5.0 have a bug in the ConvertToStr()
and RateStr() localization option which may in
rare cases lead to incorrect results. The
recommended workaround is to use these functions
without the localization option. Currency Server
5.0 is not affected by the issue.

DISCUSSION
The ConvertToStr() and RateStr() functions have an optional
formatting option. If this is enabled, in some rare cases the
system localization functionality for the rounding and
conversion from digits to string of currency amounts and the
built-in functions of Currency Server have a difference in
precision which can cause a numerical error in the formatted
string.
Because of this bug, it is recommended that formatting be
disabled by setting the Format string parameter to "+".
Rounding is not affected by this issue. Results obtained via
ConvertToNum() and RateNum() are not affected by this issue.
Customers have been notified about this issue via email and
