What is the best alternative to GlideRecord in ACL ? Refer example below

[Snehal13]

This read ACL is on sc_req_item table for allowing read access to approvers.

I want to replace using GlideRecord with a different approach as SN doesn't recommend using GlideRecord/GlideRecordSecure/GlideRecordAggregate in ACL

var gr_obj = new GlideRecord('sysapproval_approver');
gr_obj.addQuery('approver', gs.getUserID());
gr_obj.addQuery('sysapproval.parent', current.sys_id);
gr_obj.query();
if (gr_obj.next()) {
     return true;
}
return false;

Example 2 

This read ACL is on sc_task table to allow read for all fields in sc_task

var task_gr = new GlideRecord('task');
task_gr.addQuery('parent', current.request_item.universal_request);
task_gr.query();
while (task_gr.next()) {
                   if (gs.getUser().isMemberOf(task_gr.assignment_group.getDisplayValue())) {
                   answer = true;
                   }
}

@Snehal13 

you can create a script include and function and then write that code there

Then call that script include in ACL advanced script.

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.

@Ankur Bawiskar , If I undestand you correctly,

In the ACL script, I will have syntax as answer = new ScriptIncludeName().functionName(<parameter>); 

The function is the script include will receive parameters and have the logic to compare and return true or false back to the  "answer" in the ACL script. right ?

Correct, the script include function will return true/false
