Fragment function "is not a function"
Hi All,
I am making a new fragment to help with some code a want to run often. I'm at the point where it should be working but whenever I attempt to reference it in the field I get an error saying "error: TypeError: form1.variables.employeeLookup.employeeLookupMain is not a function".
I have no idea what's wrong, I have a decent amount of javascript experience I can't see where I messed up the function. Can anyone help? Applicable code attached below:
Code that runs in the field:
form1.formPage.mainSub.initialUserData.empNo::exit - (JavaScript, client)
console.log("beggining of exit event");
//xfa.host.messageBox("1");
try{
console.log("before the script call");
var lookupReturn;
//lookupReturn = form1.variables[0].employeeLookup.employeeLookupMain(this.rawValue);
lookupReturn = form1.variables.employeeLookup.employeeLookupMain(this.rawValue);
//lookupReturn = employeeLookup.employeeLookupMain(this.rawValue);
console.log("after the script call");
if(lookupReturn == null){
xfa.host.messageBox("Please enter a valid Employee number.");
empNo.rawValue = null;
initialUserData.name.rawValue = null;
}//if
else{
//LINES BELOW MUST BE ALTERED TO REFERENCE THE FIELDS THAT THE LOOKUP NEEDS TO FILL
//-----------------------
name.rawValue = lookupReturn[fullName];
//-----------------------
}//else
}//try
catch(e){
console.log('error: ' + e)
}//catch
employeeLookup fragment:
form1.#variables[0].employeeLookup - (JavaScript, client)
//test build
//returns null if the lookup failed
//returns a tuple with all of the desired values if lookup succeded.
function employeeLookupMain(uNumber) {
console.log("inside of lookup main");
var funcReturn = null;
var cURL = "/rest/services/SupportingApplication/GetUserByAssociateNo";
var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlhttp.open("POST", cURL);
try {
xmlhttp.send(uNumber.rawValue);
xmlhttp.onload = function () {
try{
xmlDoc = processHTTPReturn(xmlhttp.responseText);
}//try
catch(e){
console.log("error: " + e)
}//catch
if (xmlDoc == null) {
funcReturn = null;

This fragment is attached to the form. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Side note: I know the code is littered with Try Catch's, which isn't great form, but it's really difficult to tell what's going on without them. I plan I taking most of them out after I'm finished developing.
