reportContext.getLocale() [message #759053]

Hi all

I have a report variable that I can grab only the fisrt two charaters to the result of
reportContext.getLocale() function
This is what I'm doing

var locale=reportContext.getLocale().substr(1,2)

That expression gives me this error
"Type error : Can not find function string in object en_CA "
en_CA is the result of reportContext.getLocale() function

I'm using Birt 2.6.2

However if I do something like this

var locale="en.CA".substr(1,2) it works (it returns "en")

What is the difference? the first one is a variable, the second one is just a string
Kind of rookie on this
Thanks in advance for your help
