Calling a script include function inside it's script include.

[rbuff]

Hi All,

Im trying to call a script include function inside it's script include.   I've attempted it already with no results.  

I was wondering if it was even possible to do what I'm attempting in a script include?

Hi Justin,

Reference functions with this.functionName().

Example:

var foo = Class.create();

foo.prototype = {

      initialize: function() {

      },

  bar : function() {

  this.zip(5);

  },

  zip : function(num) {

  gs.info('num=' + num);

  }

      type: 'foo'

};

Thanks, Chuck!   Exactly what I was looking for.

Hi Chuck, ctomasi

We don't use this in business rule. Also in script includes sometimes we use "this" and sometimes not. For example please see below code taken from a script include. updateClassIfExists is being called without "this" but _generateProfilesFromType is being called with "this", kindly tell the difference?

generateProfilesFromType: function(type, updateClassIfExists) {

return this._generateProfilesFromType(type, updateClassIfExists); },

Regards

I suspect the first instance is being used as a callback or reference. You're not calling the function outright, but rather passing it as a variable to another function (generateProfilesFromType). You're doing it again in the second one too....

If your code is calling the function/method directly, you need this.functionName, but if you're passing it as a parameter, then you don't.
