I'm running OpenCDISC Validator v1.4, using the 3.1.3 config file, against a SUPPPC XPT data file. The report generated indicates the error SD0086 "SUPPQUAL duplicate records" in the data. I've looked at the data and there are no duplicates in the SUPPQUAL data for the variable combination in the report. I've attached a subset of the data that duplicate this problem and should allow you to see the same.

Thanks for sending your sample data!

The reason for your false-positive messages is that values of an IDVARVAL variable look like very long integers. E.g., 12345678901234567. The validator considers them as numeric values. An unexpected conversion of a character value into its numeric representation leads to loosing precision of original values. As a result some of them become duplicates.

This is a bug, which will be fixed in the next release of the validator.

Thank you for catching this issue!

Kind Regards,

Sergiy
