Date variables seem to be treated in a different way during the transfer from SOAP to BODS 4.2

Dear,

Date variables seem to be treated in a different way during the transfer from SOAP to BODS 4.2, then in BODS 4.0. In some cases, quotes are needed and in other not. Let’s take three inputs: 2015.07.10, ‘2015.07.10’ and ‘Hello’. The results are the following ones, depending on where the job is launched from:

Parameter                                                   2015.07.10                                     ‘2015.07.10’                      ‘Hello’ 

Launched from Admin Cons Dev                Fails                                                Success, date correct      Success, date empty

Launched from Soap Dev                           Fails                                                Success, date correct      Success, date empty

Launched from Admin Cons Q                    Fails                                                Success, date correct     Success, date empty

Launched from Soap Q                               Fails                                                Success, date correct      Success, date empty

Launched from Admin Cons Prod               Fails                                                Success, date correct      Success, date empty

Launched from Soap Prod                          Success, date correct                     Fails                                  Fails   

So it seems like on Dev and Q, the parameter is interpreted the same way, while on Prod 2015.07.10 on Soap is equivalent to ‘2015.07.10’ in Bods.

DEV & QAS are BODS 4.2 & PRD is still BODS 4.0
