g_scratchpad is not working giving error

[gautam_dhamija]

onSubmit script error: ReferenceError: g_scratchpad is not defined:
function () { [native code] }

code1:

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {

    if (isLoading || newValue === '') {

        return;

    }

    // Get field values

    var invoiceNumber = g_form.getValue('invoice_no');

    var invoiceDate = g_form.getValue('invoice_date');

    var invoiceAmount = g_form.getValue('invoice_amount');

    var vendorCode = g_form.getValue('vendor_code');

    // Alert concatenated values

    // alert('Invoice Number: ' + invoiceNumber + ', Vendor Code: ' + vendorCode + ', Invoice Date: ' + invoiceDate);

    alert(invoiceNumber);

    // Create GlideAjax object

    var ga = new GlideAjax('x_perii_account_0.CheckForDuplicity');

    ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'checkForDuplication1');

    ga.addParam('sysparm_invoiceNo', invoiceNumber);

    ga.addParam('sysparm_invoiceAmount', invoiceAmount); // Fixed parameter name

    ga.addParam('sysparm_invoiceDate', invoiceDate); // Fixed parameter name

    ga.addParam('sysparm_vendorCode', vendorCode); // Fixed parameter name

    // alert('test');

    // Send request and handle response

    ga.getXMLAnswer(duplicate);

    function duplicate(response) {

        // response = response.trim();

        alert(response);

        if (response === 'true') {

            alert('responsetrue');

            g_scratchpad.duplicateRecord1 = 'false';  

        } else {

            alert('responsefalse');

            g_scratchpad.duplicateRecord1 = 'true';

        }

    }

}

Code2:

function onSubmit() {

   //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

   if (g_scratchpad.duplicateRecord1 == 'true') {

        alert('Duplicate invoice found. Please check the invoice number,amount and date');

        return false;

    }

}

Both are in scoped Application Code 1 is onchange client script and code 2 is on submit

Hello @gautam_dhamija, 

As per my understanding you are aborting the submit action if duplicate record is found. If that the case why not use Before Insert BR and check the same thing which you have checking in script include.
