```define(['N/sftp', 'N/encode', 'N/https', 'N/runtime'], runScheduled);```

```function runScheduled(sftp, encode, https, runtime) { var scriptObj =  runtime.getCurrentScript(); }```

What happens if you don't use scriptObj but instead use runtime.getCurrentScript everywhere it would occur?

if everything is inside your define, you should be able to call it from anywhere in the script instead of passing it to your function as an argument

Hm. Well, has always worked like that. Until today. Bizarre.

dunno why it would suddenly stop working, but that would be my next step in troubleshooting

The other way to handle it would be to define scriptObj before the function call and pass that as an argument instead of runtime

so that you're not duplicating the variable names

that would be better practice anyway since SuiteScript doesn't support const or let

well SS2.1 supports const/let, no? admittedly that's still in the oven so to speak

and (obligatory plug) TypeScript supports it too, even for SuiteScript 1.0 :slightly_smiling_face:

yeah I only use typescript, but Nate here looks like he's using vanilla JS

5.1 (2.0) supports const but 2.1 supports all the things (let/const etc...)

2.0 allows `const` but as far as I recall it `const` has no semantics different from `var` in 2.0

i.e. it doesn't enforce that consts are constant :slightly_smiling_face:

though I may be wrong - haven't tried using const in SS2.0 for a very long time

You're correct 2.1 script a const can't be reassigned, 2.0 it can

in 2.0 you can't reassign a const it'll error out

Really const x = 1; x = 2; doesn't error out for me in 2.0. That's server side by the way. Client side the browser will certainly object to that re-assignment

it errors out for me in a backend suitelet

its netsuite so consistency isn't exactly normal
