Hi All,

I am getting errors from native javascript functions when attempting to run reports, wherein any Native Javascript function that is called within a function box gives an error like so:

I have created a report with next to nothing except the Native Javascript function to demonstrate.

What is going on here? I don't remember this being a challenge when using BIRT in the past.

Furthermore, the BIRT provided functions work fine (e.g. BirtDateTime.now())

I have tried with both Neon and Oxygen

java version is:

java version "1.7.0"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0-b147)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 21.0-b17, mixed mode)

This was me forgetting how to JavaScript

getDate() is a method of a Date object.
