  USERS AFFECTED:
  - Users of RequisitePro client for Windows saving documents
  containing requirements larger than two thousand characters.
  
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION   :
  - When saving a document, RequisitePro fetches the requirement
  information from the database to compare and find what has
  changed. Sometimes, when the requirement is larger than two
  thousand characters, some garbage characters are included in the
  data coming from the database that can't be parsed to valid
  integer values, causing the Type mismatch error.
  

Problem conclusion

• RequisitePro code is updated to safely ignore any garbage
  characters included in the response, being able to parse all
  values coming from the database.
  The fix for this APAR was included in RequisitePro version
  7.1.1.8, 7.1.2.5 and 7.1.3.1.
