• In an XSLTransform node, the XPath function substring
  incorrectly handles an offset argument of Infinity. For example:
  
  <xsl:value-of select="substring('a', 1 div 0)"/>
  
  will return the value of 'a' rather than the empty string.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************

  Enterprise v11 who use the XSLTransform node.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  MultiPlatform, z/OS

  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  In an XSLTransform node, the XPath function substring
  incorrectly handles an offset argument of Infinity. For example:
  
  <xsl:value-of select="substring('a', 1 div 0)"/>
  
  will return the value of 'a' rather than the empty string. The
  cause of this is that the product is incorrectly using the old
  Xalan-based XSLT transformation engine rather than the new XSLT
  transformation engine built into the IBM JRE shipped with the
  product.
