Ralf Handl created ODATA-781:
--------------------------------

             Summary: substring: what to return if the start index is outside the first argument string, or the desired length exceeds the remaining string length
                 Key: ODATA-781
                 URL: https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/ODATA-781
             Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: OData URL Conventions
    Affects Versions: V4.0_ERRATA02
            Reporter: Ralf Handl
             Fix For: V4.0_ERRATA03


This could be a "bad request" returning no results at all, or it could evaluate to null, which may just lead to excluding the offending instance from the result.

Or a mix of both: negative start index is "bad request", start index or desired length beyond the end of the first argument is "null".
