The toSource Method

In JavaScript, the toSource method is used to return a string representing the source code of the object. However, this feature is obsolete and should not be used. In SuiteScript 2.0, a script that includes the toSource method for an object executes without error. In SuiteScript 2.1, an error is thrown for any script that includes the toSource method for an object. For more information about the toSource method, see toSource.

Scenario	SuiteScript 2.0 Behavior	SuiteScript 2.1 Behavior
Log a Transaction source: `function Transaction(name) { this.name = name; } var obj = new Transaction("myTrans"); log.debug("Transaction = ", Transaction.toSource()); log.debug("Transaction Obj = ", obj.toSource());`	The script completes execution without throwing an error.	An error is thrown indicating `toSource` is not a valid function.
