is not a function - error

[Jamsta1912]

Hello,

When I run this script below as a background script, I get back a list of incident sys_ids, as expected:

var rec = new GlideRecord('incident');
rec.query();
while(rec.next()){
   gs.print('The record sys_id is: ' + rec.sys_id);
}

But when I run this one below, hoping to get back a list of template sys_ids:

var rec = new GlideRecord('sys_template');
rec.query();
while(rec.next()){
   gs.print('The record sys_id is: ' + rec.sys_id);
}

I instead get this:

Evaluator: org.mozilla.javascript.EcmaError: is not a function.

  Caused by error in script at line 4

  1: var rec = new GlideRecord('sys_template');

  2: rec.query();

  3: while(rec.next()){

==> 4: gs.print('The record sys_id is: ' + rec.sys_id);

  5: }

Evaluator: org.mozilla.javascript.EcmaError: is not a function.

  Caused by error in script at line -1

Can anyone explain what's going on here?

Thanks

Jamie

on sys_template, there is already a column called "next", hence the error.

you should be using _next()

1. var rec = new GlideRecord('sys_template');  
2. rec.query();  
3. while(rec._next()){  
4.   gs.print('The record sys_id is: ' + rec.sys_id);  
5. }
