Error adding formula to search
I'm trying to write a custom search based on the great-circle algorithm to find clients within y miles of x address. I have added two custom fields to the customer record, custentity_gclat and custentity_gclng. When I try running the following script in the debugger I get a FORMULA_ERROR.
var address = { 'lat' : 40.561598, 'lng' : -111.96088 }; var distance = 10; var filters = [ new nlobjSearchFilter( 'formulanumeric', null, 'lessthan', distance ) ]; // todo - to switch from miles to km, change 3956 to 6367(or 6371?) filters[0].setFormula( "3956 * 2 * ASIN( SQRT( POWER( SIN( ((({custentity_gclat}-("+address['lat']+"))*0.01745329252)/2) ), 2 ) + COS( "+address['lat']+"*0.01745329252 ) * COS( {custentity_gclat}*0.01745329252 ) * POWER( SIN( ((({custentity_gclng}-("+address['lng']+"))*0.01745329252)/2) ), 2 ) ) )" ); var columns = []; var searchresults = nlapiSearchRecord( 'customer', null, filters, columns );
