  ****************************************************************
  In RBD 8.0.1.5 and before, generation of JavaScript produces
  massive code expansion which contains some unnecessary code.
  

Problem conclusion

• In RBD 8.0.1.5 or 8.5 and future, javascript generation is
  optimized: Do not create temporary variable for function
  invocation result in deploy mode;
  Generating the same boilerplate code into every onException
  block;
  Do not generate return statements in functions that do not
  need them
  

Temporary fix
