I getting this error SSS_INSTRUCTION_COUNT_EXCEEDED. Any suggestion how to resolve this ?? Thanks

check your loops and processes within loops

var buffer = [];
                var l = str.length;
                log.debug('Length',l);   // length is 8977684
                for (var i = 0; i &lt; l; i++) {
                    var char = str.charCodeAt(i) ^ 0x5A;
                    buffer.push(String.fromCharCode(char));
                }

depending on script type (UE, Scheduled, etc.), that maybe too much

I am calling a custom module from suitelet. From the above code what can we do to avoid the error please ?? Thanks

one of options below
1. Change the logic of the loop
2. Use another script type
3. Split script into multiple scripts

I have *so* many questions, but I will refrain. The short answer is "do less work". You're masking a 9 million character string, and that takes too many instructions according to NetSuite's governance system. The only way to not hit the limit is to process less data as I don't see any obvious ways to take logic out of your loop.

if you don't need the answer on real time, scheduled script might meet your requirement

got it, i will try to move this logic to a schedule script. Thanks :+1:

More appropriate would be a Map/Reduce; that is the "canonical" bulk processing script
