IO18065: THE IBMJS EVAL() METHOD DOES NOT HANDLE A JAVA STRING

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The IBMJS eval() method does not handle a Java String
  
  Description:  There is a subtle difference between the way a
  JavaScript
  String and Java String (returned from Java methods)
  are stored. The eval() does nothing the Java Strings.
  
  Steps to Duplicate:
  In TDI create the following two components:
  1. Have a Library Script named 'evalScript' containing:
  alname = task.getName();
  return "ARF_" + alname;
  2. Have an Assemblyline which uses this script.
  scr = system.getScriptText("evalScript");
  task.logmsg(eval(scr));
  
  Desired Behavior:
  Instead of returning 'return "ARF_" + alname', the eval() is
  expected
  to return the evaluated Java string.
  
  Environment: TDI 7.1.1
