Issue/Introduction:

A string value of "010" from a JSON request is being evaluated to an integer "10" when used in the test in a script.

For example:

There is property TestEQ_Code="010"

When the above property is used in a script with the code testExec.setStateValue(EQ_Code,"TestEQ_Code"); The new property EQ_Code will have a value of 10 instead of 010.

Cause:

It is the Java which is deleting the preceding zero's.

Environment:

All supported DevTest environments.

Resolution:

One workaround is it to use String EQ_Code= testExec.getStateValue("EquipmentCode"); instead of testExec.setStateValue(EQ_Code,"EquipmentCode");
