APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Environment: Windows
  Product name: IBM? Rational? Business Developer
  
  Program Version    :  8.5.1
  Description.
  Deploying an existing RUI application the applicable data is not
  returned to the front end input screen.
  
  In debug mode the same RUI application shows the data
  correctly,the same application worked fine on previous RBD
  v8.0.1.x stream.
  This defect is related to a differential within a function
  within the EGL library SyncServiceLib.egl ie:
  private function getDataFieldRecForUpdate(dataUpdate string in)
  returns(DATA_FIELD_REC)
        cachedVal any =
  dataFieldRecordCache.getVariable(dataUpdate);
  
        if(cachedVal != null)
              return (cachedVal as DATA_FIELD_REC);
  
        end
  
  The value ?cachedVal? is boxed in earlier versions so the
  referenced code is again expecting such a value, causing an
  invalid variable reference error ie ?eze$$Value?.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• The target JavaScript generation for function invocation whose
  return type is any and the actual type is an external type is
  incorrect, the result is not wrapped to any.
  

Problem conclusion

• Correct the JavaScript generation for the function invocation
  whose return type is any and the actual type is an external
  type.
