EGL language conversion considerations from IBM Rational Business Developer and EGL CE.
| Rational software | EDT |
| Called program | Not supported |
| DataItem, Stand alone (top level) function |
Not supported right now |
| Datatable, Structured Record, Form, FormGroup |
Not supported |
| Nullable | Nullability is a quality of the field or parameter not the type...similar to how database columns define a column to be nullable or not nullable. See Language Overview / Nullability |
| Rational software | EDT |
| Default is inout | Default is inout for value type
Default is in for reference type |
| Array default is inout | Array default is in, because array is reference type |
| timestamp without pattern is inout | timestamp without pattern default is in, because timestamp without pattern is reference type |
| Rational software | EDT |
| time | replaced with timestamp |
| interval | Not Supported right now, no replacement |
| money, num, bin |
use Decimal |
| Rational software | EDT |
| system libraries | all needs to be fully qualified with library name i.e. sysLib, dateTimeLib, serviceLib, xmlLib...etc. |
| currentDate() DateTimeLib.currentDate() |
When you declare aDate data, aDate should be inited with the current date |
| currentTime() DateTimeLib.currentTime() |
Not Supported |
| currentTimeStamp() DateTimeLib.currentTimeStamp() |
When you declare temp timestamp, temp is inited with the current timestamp |

DateTimeLib.dateFromGregorian() DateTimeLib.dateFromJulian() |

A note on deployment descriptor files (*.egldd):
The model for these files is different in EDT so you cannot reuse deployment descriptors from Rational Business Developer. If you have a *.egldd file that's in the old format, and you want to "reset" it to be empty, you can open it with a text editor and replace it with the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <egl:deployment xmlns:egl= "http://www.eclipse.org/xmlns/edt/deployment/1.0" > </egl:deployment>
