How do I get the internal ID of a custom record?
I'm creating a search using the NetSuite web service. I'm not referencing a saved search, but rather I'm building the criteria and columns in my code.
I'm stumbling on getting the internal ID of each custom record. I've tried adding to the customFieldList, but I realize now that the internal ID isn't a custom field, so how do you do it?
here's my code that sets up the criteria and the column.. can anyone help me out with getting the internal ID?
