call the function:

var cc_estate="ABC" var si= new (); var res= si.retrieve_costcenter_info_add(cc_estate); gs.print(JSON.stringify(res));

gs.print(res.business_area);

output:

*** Script: {"business_area":"LAA","procurement_team":"LAA_Purchase_Order_Team"}

*** Script: LAA

script include function:

retrieve_costcenter_info_add: function(cc_estate) { //--for add CC, retrieve the business area and procurement team var sBusinessArea = ""; var sProcurementTeam = ""; switch (cc_estate) { case "ABC": sBusinessArea = "abc123"; sProcurementTeam = "team 1"; break; case "EFG": sBusinessArea = "efg456"; sProcurementTeam = "team 2"; break; //--etc default: break; } var aNewCCData = {"business_area": sBusinessArea , "procurement_team": sProcurementTeam }; return (aNewCCData); },

Haven't tested these all recently within global/local scopes, so feel free to have a play! option 1 use an encoded query embedded in the GlideRecord , e.g. var grProf = new GlideRecord ( 'x_cls_clear_skye_i_profile' ); grProf . addQuery ( 'status=1^ owner=NULL ' ); grProf . query (); even better use the glideRecord addNotNullQuery or addNullQuery option 2 JSUtil.nil / notNil (this might be the most powerful. See this link ) example: if ( current . operation () == 'insert' && JSUtil . notNil ( current . parent ) && ! current . work_effort . nil ()) option 3 there might be times when you need to get inside the GlideRecord and perform the check there, for example if the code goes down 2 optional routes depending on null / not null can use gs.nil : var grAppr = new GlideRecord ( 'sysapproval_approver' ); var grUser = new GlideRecord ( 'sys_user' ); if ( grUser . get ( 'sys_id' , current . approver )){

Classic UI : var sURL_editparam = gs . action . getGlideURI (). getMap (). get ( ' sysparm_aparameter ' ); if ( sURL_editparam == 'true' ) { gs . addInfoMessage ( 'parameter passed ); } Portal : var sURL_editparam = $sp . getParameter ( " sysparm_aparameter " ); if ( sURL_editparam == 'true' ) { gs . addInfoMessage ( 'parameter passed ); }
