New Post: How do I pass a var inside SPServices

$(document).ready(function()
{

SetStatusVariable();
DisableAllSPFields();
DisableOKButton();

// query for the current user.

$().SPServices({

  operation: "GetGroupCollectionFromUser",
  userLoginName: $().SPServices.SPGetCurrentUser(),
  async: false,
  completefunc: function(xData, Status) {

// Based on if user is in group A or B certain fields are enabled.

     if($(xData.responseXML).find("Group[Name='Group A']").length == 1) 
     {
        EnableAllSPFields();
        EnableOKButton();             
     }

// I would like to evalute an (&&) based on a var set outside of the SPServices.

     if ($(xData.responseXML).find("Group[Name='Group B']").length == 1) && (status == "submit")
     {

        EnableOKButton();
        EnableSPField("Program Name");
        EnableSPField("Run Date"); 
        EnableSPField("Range Craft"); 
        EnableSPField("Range Location"); 
        EnableSPField("Range Systems");


     }

  }

});

});

Ok, my question is this viewing the code above on the second if statement I have an and condition. My issue is when I add the following code

var status =$("select[title='Form Submit Type']").val();

with in SPServices it returns a NULL via an alert I have set after the creation of the var.

alert(status);

so the && evaluation will not work.

The page is a SharePoint Edit.aspx page, thus the value I am setting is already there. I can set it outside spservices just fine
function SetStatusVariable()
{
var status =$("select[title='Form Submit Type']").val();
alert(status);
}
The problem for me is passing this value inside the second if statement to be evaluated.

     if ($(xData.responseXML).find("Group[Name='Group B']").length == 1) && (status == "submit")

Bottom line I want to evaluate if a person is in a group and if the status is equal to submit.
