    Description

      When testing if a specific CUSIP is valid using org.apache.commons.validator.routines.checkdigit.CUSIPCheckDigit.CUSIP_CHECK_DIGIT.isValid, a call to this returns true when it should return false. A specific example is with the following invalid CUSIP: DUS0421CW.

      What seems to be happening is when toInt is called on W it turns it to an int value and then sends it to weightedValue. This is fine for the first 8 characters of a CUSIP, but not the check digit. The expected result should be to return false because the check digit is a letter (on a CUSIP a check digit must be 0-9).

      With the current implementation, I believe each CUSIP can have up to 4 valid check digits.

      A test is attached.
