<p>We use <span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:'courier new';">BirtStr.trim function in all our reports and it is failing on 4.5 (Eclipse Mars).</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:'courier new';">Stack trace:</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:'courier new';">BirtStr.trim(fname+" "+lname)</span></p>

<p>This code works fine in 4.3 version (luna eclipse)</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>When we change the code to use the BirtStr.concat function it works fine.</p>
<p><span style="font-family:'courier new';font-size:10.6667px;">BirtStr.trim(</span><span style="font-family:'courier new';font-size:10.6667px;">BirtStr.concat(</span><span style="font-family:'courier new';font-size:10.6667px;">fname," ",lname))</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.6667px;">Effort of making code changes are really high. </span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Any recommendations ?</p>
<p> </p>
