Google Tag Manager Parse Error. Primary Expression

Question

I am trying to save this Custom Javascript Variable within Google Tag Manager and return this error each time:

Error at line 2, character 4: Parse error. primary express

Answer 1

All code in a custom javascript variable should be within function() {}, or you will get this error.

Here's the documentation from Google:

This field should be a JavaScript function that returns a value using the 'return' statement. If the function does not explicitly return a value, it will return undefined and your container may not behave as expected. Below is an example of this field:

function() {
     var now = new Date();
     return now.getTime();   
}
