PM08120: FAILURE TO CONVERT A SEQUENCE TO A SINGLETON IN BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY MODE MAY RESULT IN AN ERROR OR INCORRECT OUTPUT.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In some circumstances such as the select value of the
  xsl:analyze-string or the value of a literal attribute when
  specified as an attribute value template where the expression
  results in a seqeuence of more than one item, the processor will
  fail to discard the extra items in backwards compatibility
  mode.  This may result in an error ( XPTY0004 ) as in the case
  of xsl:analyze-string or in the processor concatenating the
  string values of all the items in the sequence together as in
  the case of the value of a literal attribute.

Problem conclusion

• Code is now being generated in backwards compatibility mode
  that will convert the sequence to a singleton in the described
  circumstances.
