Legacy Functions in FPScript
The number of available FPScript functions is constantly being expanded and reorganized. Consequently, FPScript functions also become outdated because their functionality ends up being covered by other functions. For the purpose of compatibility, these legacy functions are still supported by FlexPro, but are no longer offered as an option in the Function Wizard and are also no longer mentioned in the documentation. These functions are marked by FlexPro with a '_' sign before the name of the function.
The following is a list of all legacy functions and their successors:
