Hi,

We should not use server side calls on client script, that might be the reason getRowCount is not working..

However, you can replace with glideajax functionality like below..

Client Script

var userid = g_user.userID;
var ga = new GlideAjax('GetLoggedDetails'); 
ga.addParam('sysparm_name','GetName'); 
ga.addParam('sysparm_user_name', userid);  
ga.getXML(HelloWorldParse);  
    
function HelloWorldParse(response) {  
   var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer"); 
    if(answer != 0)
    {
     g_form.setValue('associate_id', answer);
    }
    else
    {
     g_form.addErrorMessage("Please select a valid user");
     return false;
     }
}

Script Include

var GetLoggedDetails = Class.create();
GetLoggedDetails .prototype = Object.extendsObject(global.AbstractAjaxProcessor, {
    GetName: function() {
var ret = 0;
        var userName = this.getParameter("sysparm_user_name");
        var grUser = new GlideRecord('sys_user');
        grUser.addQuery("sys_id", userName);
        grUser.query();
        if(grUser.next())
       {
         var ret = grUser.employee_id;
       },
    type: 'GetLoggedDetails'
});

I Hope it helps you, if so please mark my response as both helpful and correct
