Description Jing Qian

This is major, because it blocks all the timestamp and date test cases for services (> 15 test cases)

Try the following RUIhandler

handler h1 type RUIhandler{initialUI =[], onConstructionFunction = start, cssFile = "css/b.css", title = "h1"}



    function start()
		timestamp1 timestamp("yyyyMMddHHmmss") = "2005/02/15-12:30:11";
    	syslib.writeStdOut ("time is:" + timestamp1);
		
		date1 date = "2005/02/15";
    	syslib.writeStdOut ("date is:" + date1);       	
    end
end

You can see the runtime exception in FF browser.

egl.eglx.lang.Constants.$inst is undefined
and 
egl.eglx.lang.Constants.$inst.odbcTimestampFormat is undefined

PLEASE note that, according to both Matt and the documentation for EDate.egl,  part of the testcase is incorrect:

   date1 date = "2005/02/15";

String to date conversions must always start with month followed by day followed by year.

Fixed

using 20111018's latest code from cvs (a development environment)

the same code gives 

egl.eglx.lang.TypeCastException is not a constructor error in the FF external browser

oops, I need to change the date to be MM/dd/yyyy format

verified in 201110180901's build
