Format Error in Standard Functionality

Hi there we are currently experiencing some bizarre behaviour with the formatting of a decimal variable within standard BC String functionality.

The problem manifests itself within StrSubstNo (also in Message and Error).

It was first noticed in the 'RecordDetails' function within the Approval Entry table.

The line: show below causes the error.

I have added a subscriber to bypass this with the following code:

Just for testing - we get the resultant page now displaying.

As you can see from the code snippet, if the value is assigned to a local variable, then this is okay...

There is a new option on the page, to enable us to show the amount firstly, having been assigned in a 'confirm dialogue' then the field is used directly in the 'message' window - and breaks!

I suspect that it has to do with the 'Precision' element of the format string - but we have no control over this... the field itself is a standard field on the Approval Entry table.
