  ****************************************************************
  If a Dictionary in a Rich UI application is given a
  key-value pair where the key consists entirely of digits,
  the key and value will not be returned by functions on the
  Dictionary, such as getKeys and getValues.
  

Problem conclusion

• RBD now supports keys whose characters are all digits.
