var value is not passing to function without first showing an "alert()"

Question

I am retrieving a value from a form var programName = xfa.resolveNode("form1.page1.subApprovedTrainingNAC.subEd[" + oWrapper.index + "].educationInstance.lstPrograms").rawValue;  when I attempt to pass it to my functioncallRestService(url,lstPrograms,programName);the function receives it as nullHowever if in between the two statesments I havealert("programName before click call: " + programName);then the value is received correctly.How can I get value to the function with the value without showing the alert?

Since setting the time out on the callRestService didn't work, I wound up using

var programName = xfa.resolveNode("form1.page1.subApprovedTrainingNAC.subEd[" + oWrapper.index + "].educationInstance.lstPrograms").rawValue;

var myTO = app.setTimeOut("var site = programName; app.clearTimeOut(myTO) ;", 5000) ;

Then sent the call as before

callRestService(url,lstPrograms,programName);

and it is now working

Hi,

If the value is coming correctly only with alert then it is because by the time callRestService the value is not populating to programName variable. With alert you are buying sometime for variable to populate before passing to method.

Try adding timeout then it will work fine without alert or make the calls as sync instead of async

Hope this helps !
