I am using a Suitelet where I am passing in the Record Type.

Here is the code I am trying to execute:

const rec = record.load({

                type: recordObj.RecordType,

                id: recordObj.Id

            });

The variable recordObj.RecordType = 'record.Type.EMPLOYEE'

I get the error: The record type [RECORD.TYPE.EMPLOYEE] is invalid.

If I replace type: recordObj.RecordType, with

type: record.Type.EMPLOYEE,

It works without any issues.

The problem seems to be with the use of a variable, is there any way to make this work.
