Keep getting SyntaxError: missing ) in parenthetical 46:

discrhythmia
Community Beginner ,
Sep 24, 2016 Sep 24, 2016

I've renamed my Array and keep getting this error.  When I run script with the renamed Array in the console, it calculates appropriately.  I've tried going through line by line and can't seem to find the error.  Might be I just need a fresh set of eyes to catch my mistake.  As per usual, everyones help & advice is greatly appreciated.

(original script)

var AW = this.getField("Weight").value;

var t = this.getField("Temperature").value;

var b = Math.ceil(AW / 1000) * 1000;

I'm not getting any syntax errors for either code. Are you sure that's the exact code you're using?


By the way, there's no need to put parentheses around numbers, like in this statement:

t >= (-18)

It could simply be:

t >= -18

Copied the code above, made the change in your reply.  Still getting a syntax error when I paste the code into my form's button javascript action.  Code still works and calculates correctly when I paste it directly into the javascript console, highlight the entire code and press Shift-Enter on my Mac (correctly calculates value of 4731 with a "Weight" value of 17500 and "Temperature" value of 16, when entered on my form.

I doubt it. I'm using XI Pro.

What application are you using to edit the code?

Directly in javascript window & console in acrobat.

If I'm having issues, that I can't resolve with minor troubleshooting, I copy the code into Brackets and use that.

I upgraded to the new version of Acrobat Pro, and my original script ended up working ... I use Mac, so I'll stick with Brackets.  Also found this which I found worked well for me - Online Javascript Editor and Compiler at Codepad – Remoteinterview.io

After trying my script in a few different editors with it working - I decided to upgrade to latest/greatest Acrobat Pro ... low and behold ... the script worked ... thanks for your help and patience.

On another note, I had asked you a separate question in a different post regarding calling different arrays- and my question was a bit confusing.  Incorporating the script above, I want to have a few more arrays with the same structure.  What would be the best way to incorporate into the script above?

Example- If I had a form field and I entered a value of 1, it would use the above DistTable array.  If I entered a value of 2, it would use a second array (DistTable2) in the script above, a value of 3; DistTable3 etc.

var DistTable2 = new Array();

DistTable2[18300] = ["4859","5036","5216","5544","6526","0"];

DistTable2[18000] = ["4697","4866","5036","5354","6287","8200"];

DistTable2[17000] = ["4154","4301","4447","4719","5488","7000"];

DistTable2[16000] = ["3676","3805","3934","4168","4769","5913"];

DistTable2[15000] = ["3230","3334","3438","3632","4187","5150"];

DistTable2[14000] = ["2842","2942","3042","3223","3689","4428"];

DistTable2[13000] = ["2462","2543","2624","2772","3150","3750"];

DistTable2[12000] = ["2314","2388","2461","2594","2922","3463"];

DistTable2[11000] = ["2228","2298","2367","2490","2742","3173"];

DistTable2[10000] = ["2153","2223","2292","2412","2613","2938"];

Or, is there a better way incorporating everything into a single array?
