how to escape from a javascript procedure.

[gennarob65004058]

Hi there, i am testing some fileds in an XFA form and into a presign event using Livecycle ES2. I have a code like this:

//Check the Type of Request if selected
if ((F.P1.TypeOfRequest.InitCB.rawValue + F.P1.TypeOfRequest.ModCB.rawValue +         F.P1.TypeOfRequest.DACB.rawValue + F.P1.TypeOfRequest.IDCB.rawValue) == 0) {
 xfa.host.messageBox("The Type of Request is not selected. Please check it.");
 xfa.host.setFocus(F.P1.TypeOfRequest.InitCB); //Fuonziona, anche l'eventuale scroll
 xfa.event.cancelAction = 1;

}

//Check the presence of the UserID when the US Check Box is selected
//if (F.P1.CitizenShip.USCB.rawValue == 1) { 
   if (F.P1.TypeOfRequest.UserID.isNull || (F.P1.TypeOfRequest.UserID.rawValue.length < 10)){
   xfa.host.messageBox("The UserID is not correct or is not filled up. Please check it.");
   xfa.host.setFocus(F.P1.TypeOfRequest.UserID); //Fuonziona, anche l'eventuale scroll
   xfa.event.cancelAction = 1;
}
//}

.

.

.

and so on.

I would like to escape from the presign event once one of the if is true like a goto statement:

//Check the Type of Request if selected
if ((F.P1.TypeOfRequest.InitCB.rawValue + F.P1.TypeOfRequest.ModCB.rawValue +         F.P1.TypeOfRequest.DACB.rawValue + F.P1.TypeOfRequest.IDCB.rawValue) == 0) {
 xfa.host.messageBox("The Type of Request is not selected. Please check it.");
 xfa.host.setFocus(F.P1.TypeOfRequest.InitCB); //Fuonziona, anche l'eventuale scroll
 xfa.event.cancelAction = 1;
// " goto TheEndProcedure " // 
}

Is there the possibility to do that? Thank You.

This is just standard JavaScript. One way you can do this is with an extra variable:

var done = false;

if (firstCondition) {
   // do something
   done = true;
}
else if (secondCondition) {
   // do something else
   done = true;
}

if (!done && thirdCondition) {
   // ... 
   done = true;
}

// and so on

Put the whole code in a function (could even be an anonymous one) and call return when you want to exit it.

Try67,

i am not so skilled and i do not know how to create my own function.

Please tell me how and where to create a function.  Thank You.

It's pretty simple. Read this: https://www.w3schools.com/js/js_functions.asp

Basically you can do it like this:

function myFunction() {

// rest of code goes here;

}

myFunction();

And when you want to stop the code you add this command into it:

return;
