time | replaced with timestamp |
interval | Not Supported right now, no replacement |
Money, num, bin |
use Decimal |
RBD/EGL CE | EDT |
system libraries | all needs to be fully qualified with library name i.e. sysLib, dateTimeLib, serviceLib, xmlLib...etc. |
currentTimeStamp() dateTimeLib.currentTimeStamp() |
|
XMLLib.convertToXML(eglType any) or XMLLib.convertToXML(eglType any, document boolean) |
Use XMLLib.convertToXML(eglType any, document boolean) |
ServiceLib.convertFromJSON(json string,eglType any) |
JsonLib.convertFromJSON(json string,eglType any) |
ServiceLib.convertToJSON(eglType any) |
JsonLib.convertToJSON(eglType any) |
RBD/EGL CE | EDT |
call host program
call local program Move statement |
Not supported right now |
RBD/EGL CE | EDT |
matches | no longer an operator, have to use String matchesPattern() function instead |
like | no longer an operator, have to use String isLike function instead |
bitwise | operators support for int types only. RBD supports SmallInt as well |

annotation on Library | no annotation is supported on library |
RuntimeException |

IndexOutOfBoundException |
InvalidIndexException |
PGM includeReferencedFunctions=yes |
top level function are not supported |
PGM allowUnqualifiedItemReferences = yes |
must fully qualify part names |
XMLStructure = xmlStructurekind |
XMLValue {kind = xmlStructurekind. |
FORMName |

A note on deployment descriptor files (*.egldd):
The model for these files is different in EDT so you cannot reuse deployment descriptors from RBD. 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>
