Error description

• RFT8201 iFix001
  Win XP3
  Datapool
  
  Class: DatapoolScriptSupport
  Method: dpShort
  
  According to API Reference, java doc said that:
  public int dpShort( java.lang.String variableName, short
  defaultValue)
  
  Shortcut to the short value in the cell in the current record
  and the specified variable name is returned. If the specified
  variable name is not present or the datapool is not present, the
  default value that is passed is returned. If the value in the
  cell is not a short value then an attempt is made to convert the
  value to a short before being returned. If the value can not be
  converted a java.lang.NumberFormatException will be thrown.
  
  This is a defect in the RFT API.
  
  The following API has same problem and they are fixed.
  
  dpBoolean(java.lang.String variableName, boolean defaultValue)
  dpByte(java.lang.String variableName, byte defaultValue)
  dpChar(java.lang.String variableName, char defaultValue)
  dpDouble(java.lang.String variableName, double defaultValue)
  dpFloat(java.lang.String variableName, float defaultValue)
  dpInt(java.lang.String variableName, int defaultValue)
  dpLong(java.lang.String variableName, long defaultValue)
  dpShort(java.lang.String variableName, short defaultValue)
  dpString(java.lang.String variableName, java.lang.String
  defaultValue)
  dpValue(java.lang.String variableName, java.lang.Object value)
