APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The IRL generated for "Character does not equal char" is
  incorrect and may lead rules to fire (or not fire) unexpectedly.
  Namely the BAL rule:
      if  myCharacterObject does not equal `c`  then...
  is translated to the IRL:
     evaluate ((myCharacterObject !=
  java.lang.Character.valueOf('c')));
  which will be true even if myCharacterObject is 'c' .
  Instead the IRL should be:
  evaluate ((myCharacterObject.charValue() != 'c'));
  

Local fix

• - use "is not" instead of "does not equal"
  - use Decision Engine ruleset build mode  instead of Classic
  rule engine build mode if available (8.5.1+)
  - use a modified boot.bom where the property computeBestType
  "true" is added to the method Character.doesNotEqual().
  

Problem summary

• Incorrect code generation for character constant
  

Problem conclusion

• The code is fixed
  

Temporary fix
