Issue with recursive function

[caffry]

Trying to call a same function until the value is found. But when the value is found its returning undefined.

var user=new GlideRecord("sys_user");
user.get("1328d77f97ea45104c913b6e6253af14");
checkmanageradbusinessunit(user.u_business_unit,user.manager)


function checkadbusinessunit(businessunit, manager)
{
     
     if(businessunit == "")
     {
          gs.print(checkmanagerbusinessunit(manager));
     }
}

 function checkmanagerbusinessunit(manager) {
        gs.print("check manager")
        var user = new GlideRecord("sys_user");
        user.get(manager);
        if(user.u_business_unit == "")
        {
             gs.print("if");
             checkmanagerbusinessunit(user.manager);
        }
        else{
             
             var bu=user.u_business_unit;
gs.print(bu);
             return bu;
        }

    }

Hi Ankur,

I dont see much differences on the script.

its similar to the one which i wrote but still something is failing.

Can you try changing the last 2 lines to 

var bu= user.u_business_unit.toString();
return bu.toString();
