Problem:
The issue, as it occurs with the IsNumeric function, was reported to Lotus
Quality Engineering in SPR #CDCO4A3NJ5 and has been addressed in Notes 5.0.3.

Excerpt from the Lotus Notes and Lotus Domino Release 5.0.3 QMR fix list:

LotusScript

SPR# CDCO4A3NJ5 - Fix a crash when IsNumeric is applied to a fixed length
string. [5.0.3]

This issue, as it occurs with the following methods of the NotesView class:
GetDocumentByKey, GetAllDocumentsByKey, GetEntryByKey, GetAllEntriesByKey, was
reported to Lotus Quality Engineering in the Software Problem Report MGAN4GHSNL
and has been resolved in Notes Domino 5.0.10 and Notes Domino 6.0. Using a
fixed length string as a parameter in the noted methods will now return the
following error message:

"Fixed string argument not allowed."

Note: Given that the noted methods have never properly worked using a fixed
string argument, no loss in funcationality has resulted by disallowing their
use starting in Notes Domino 5.0.10 and 6.0.
Supporting Information:

GetAllDocumentsByKey Method Code Sample:

The following code sample illustrates this issue with the GetAllDocumentsByKey
method.

Dim s As New notessession

Dim dc As notesdocumentcollection
Dim view As notesview
Dim doc As notesdocument

Set db = s.currentdatabase
Set view=db.getview("TestView")

Dim keystring As String * 8
keystring = "testtext"
Set dc=view.getalldocumentsbykey(keystring)
