Help with my Javascript to auto populate to two fields

Can anyone please help me?  I can't figure out why my javascript isn't working, I am trying to auto populate from a drop down list into two text fields, I am going off the script example in the middle which I got off the internet.  It worked like a charm when I entered the bottom script but I was only auto populating to one text field.  I have ' in front of the digits starting with 0 on the JobStep but I need those.  What am I doing wrong?  PS  I'm very new at this javascript stuff

// Place all prepopulation data into a single data structure

var DeptData = { 1060 Foreman 1:{ JobType: "012DO",

                              JobStep: "’0234" },

                 1031 Foreman 2:{ JobType: "034DO",

                              JobStep: "’0345" },

                 1054 Subforeman:{ JobType: "'056DO",

                              JobStep: "'0756” },

                 1011 Equipment Operator 1:{ JobType: "078DO",

                              JobStep: "'0450” },

                 1015 Equipment Operator 4A :{ JobType: "037DO",

                              JobStep: "0750” },

                 1021 Truck Driver 1:{ JobType: "058DO",

                              JobStep: "'0460” },

                 1022 Truck Driver 2:{ JobType: "094DO",

                              JobStep: "’0260” },

                 1023 Truck Drive 3:{ JobType: "082DO",

                              JobStep: "’0370” },

                 1039 Lead Hand Asphalt:{ JobType: "320DO",

                              JobStep: "1278” },

                 1047 Rough Carpenter:{ JobType: "027DO",

                              JobStep: "0640 },

                 1031 Sweeper Equipment Operator:{ JobType: "068DO",

                              JobStep: "'0115 },

                 1005 Painter Tradesman 1:{ JobType: "036DO",

                              JobStep: "’0020" }};

function SetFieldValuesActingJob1Emp1(cDeptName)

{

  this.getField("TypeJob1Emp1").value = DeptData[cDeptName].JobType;

  this.getField("StepJob1Emp1").value = DeptData[cDeptName].JobStep;

}

This is the scipt I got off the internet as an example:

// Place all prepopulation data into a single data structure

var DeptData = { Accounting:{ contact: "Steala Damuni",

                              email: "accounting@mycomp.com",

                              deptnum: "cmp1234" },

                 Engineering:{ contact: "Frank N. Stien",

                              email: "engineering@mycomp.com",

                              deptnum: "eng1234" },

                 Marketing :{ contact: "Shelly Oughtbuks",

                              email: "marketing@mycomp.com",

                              deptnum: "mkt1234" },

                 ITSupport:{ contact: "Goah  Wei",

                              email: "it@mycomp.com",

                              deptnum: "its1234" }};

function SetFieldValues(cDeptName)

{

  this.getField("DeptContact").value = DeptData[cDeptName].contact;

  this.getField("DeptEmail").value = DeptData[cDeptName].email;

  this.getField("DeptNumber").value = DeptData[cDeptName].deptnum;

}

// Place all prepopulation data into a single data structure

var DeptData = { Regular:{ Type: "1" },

                 Temp:{ Type: "2" },

                 Acting :{ Type: "11" },

                 Auxiliary:{ Type: "3" },

                 COT:{ Type: "263" },

                 POT:{ Type: "266" },

                 Vacation:{ Type: "300" },

                 Sick:{ Type: "400" }};

function SetFieldValuesTypeJob1Emp1(cDeptName)

{

  this.getField("PayType Job1Emp1").value = DeptData[cDeptName].Type;

}

This is the script I entered that works great

// Place all prepopulation data into a single data structure

var DeptData = { Regular:{ Type: "1" },

                 Temp:{ Type: "3" },

                 Acting :{ Type: "12" },

                 Auxiliary:{ Type: "4" },

                 COT:{ Type: "267" },

                 POT:{ Type: "256" },

                 Vacation:{ Type: "902" },

                 Sick:{ Type: "430" }};

function SetFieldValuesTypeJob1Emp1(cDeptName)

{

  this.getField("PayType Job1Emp1").value = DeptData[cDeptName].Type;

}

I tried putting in the quotes like you've shown which I thought for sure would work but it won't auto populate. If I don't enter the quotes 1060 and 1 next to Foreman goes red and so on goes red when I enter the script in Notebook ++.  Although the bottom example shows one that does work without the quotes.  Please help me.

if( event.willCommit )
{
   if(event.value == " ")
     this.resetForm(["TypeJob1Emp1","StepJob1Emp1"]);
   else
     SetFieldValues(event.value);
}

// Place all prepopulation data into a single data structure
var ActingData = {"1060 Foreman 1":{JobType: "02DO",
