   * does exist in the remote system.
   *
   * @param policyNumber The number of the policy to be found
   * @param asOfDate A date on which the policy to find is in effect.

   * @return String that holds the public ID of the most recent policy period associated with policy
   * number <code>policyNumber</code> that was in effect on or after <code>asOfDate</code>,
   * or <code>null</code> if there is no such policy period. Warning: The policy period returned
   * might be archived. This status will not be signaled by this method.
