JR53046: YOU SEE AN ERROR SYMBOL IN FRONT OF [ARRAY].SORT(FUNCTION(A,B){RETURN A-B}) IN PROCESS DESIGNER

Version 8.5 Refresh Pack 7 for the IBM Business Process Manager products

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• You receive a validation error in the IBM Process Designer
  JavaScript editor for the following string:
  
  ids.sort(function(a,b){return a-b});
  
  The message indicates that "ids" is an array. The function still
  works and you can get the correct result, but the red cross
  error symbol remains in front of the script.
  
  PRODUCTS AFFECTED:
  IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) Advanced
  IBM BPM Standard
  IBM BPM Express
  

Local fix

• To resolve this error, split the code onto multiple lines, for
  example,
  
  function compare(a, b){
  return a-b;
  }
  ids.sort(compare);
  

Problem summary

• No additional information is available.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix will be incorporated into a later release that updates the
   validation function to allow inline functions in the JavaScript
   editor.
  

Temporary fix
