Using the exports external from the define module, I can now call exports from the browser window. So exports.xyz will now execute the function as desired.

That looks like a global variable. If you refactor exports to abc, does it work the same

var exports is a global. That's the only way I can find to call xyz.

Yeah it's not using amd's exports variable, just happens to have the same name. @dcrsmith wherever you are calling xyz, using

require(['/path/to/this/file'], function(mod) { <http://mod.xyz|mod.xyz>(); });

does not work?

I don't have the path to the file when I bundle it.

I see now. hence your experimenting with named modules

Yes. The buttons are created in a saved search. So now my formula in the search is something like this: onclick="exports.xyz( <some id> )"

Yea seems good enough. I might want to rename exports to something a bit less likely to collide with the tons of client code NetSuite already has on the page though

I did. The example here was just that, an example.

nice 👍

Thanks for the help and the sounding board.
