How to store a value inside a jquery function to use it later in another function

Question

I have a jQuery function where i am getting a value i want to use that value to some other function .How to achieve that??

jQuery.getJSON(url+"&startDate="+startDate+"&endDate="+endDate+"&jobId="+jobId+"&type="+type, function(data) {  

        if(data.searchResultArray.length>0){
        for(var z=0; z<data.searchResultArray.length;z++){  

            searchResultArray = data.searchResultArray[z].split("$$##$$##");
            createTable = createTable + "<tr><td>"+searchResultArray[0]+"</td><td><a href =#  onclick=addPresentCandidatePopUp(searchResultArray[4]);  target=\"_self\">"+searchResultArray[1]+"</td><td>"+searchResultArray[2]+"</td><td>"+searchResultArray[3]+"</td></tr>";

            candidateId= (searchResultArray[4]);

This candidateId i am storing in a variable and later i want to use inside another function.
How to do that.Please somebody help

you could probalby add a global variable and access this global variable from the other function: http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_scope.asp — jollyjoyce1995, Aug 21 '15 at 08:30

Did you try creating a global variable for it?

var newVariable = [];

jQuery.getJSON(url+"&startDate="+startDate+"&endDate="+endDate+"&jobId="+jobId+"&type="+type, function(data) {  

if(data.searchResultArray.length>0){
for(var z=0; z<data.searchResultArray.length;z++){  

searchResultArray = data.searchResultArray[z].split("$$##$$##");
createTable = createTable + "<tr><td>"+searchResultArray[0]+"</td><td><a href =#  onclick=addPresentCandidatePopUp(searchResultArray[4]);  target=\"_self\">"+searchResultArray[1]+"</td><td>"+searchResultArray[2]+"</td><td>"+searchResultArray[3]+"</td></tr>";

candidateId= (searchResultArray[4]);
newVariable.push(candidateId);
