I’ve created a button on the User Server Event labelled ‘Export’ to enable a function upon clicking so that I may export the items in a Transfer Order as an Excel file.

I would like a download popup to prompt me to save the file.

I successfully created the button, but now on the client script side I am merely testing just the creation of the XLS file and trying to get the popup initiated for me to download but I keep on running into errors: latest ‘Uncaught ReferenceError: xmlString is not defined’

Server User Event

define(['N/record','N/ui/serverWidget'],
function(record,serverWidget) {
/**

* Function definition to be triggered before record is loaded.

*

* @param {Object} scriptContext

* @param {Record} scriptContext.newRecord - New record

* @param {string} scriptContext.type - Trigger type

* @param {Form} scriptContext.form - Current form

* @Since 2015.2

*/

function beforeLoad(scriptContext) {
var forms = scriptContext.form;
if (scriptContext.type == scriptContext.UserEventType.VIEW){
forms.clientScriptFileId=30592;

forms.addButton({

id : 'custpage_buttonid', //always prefix with 'custpage_'

label : 'Export', //label of the button

functionName: "onButtonClick()"

});

//forms.clientScriptModulePath = "SuiteScripts/exportToXLS.js";

}

}

Client Side Script

define(['N/ui/dialog'],
function(dialog) {
function pageInit(scriptContext) {}
function onButtonClick(scriptContext) {
dialog.alert({

title: "Alert",

message: "You click this export button!"
});
// XML content of the file
