    The error message is a bit misleading.  The problem is not with the parameter, it's with your use of the chr method.  That method is a method provided within the TestComplete environment and is not available within script extensions.

     

    To do what you want to do, use the native JScript method String.fromCharCode like so

     

    function cleanStr(s)
{
  s = aqString.Replace(s, String.fromCharCode(27), '');
  s = aqString.Replace(s,String.fromCharCode(2), '');
  s = aqString.Replace(s,String.fromCharCode(28), '');
  s = aqString.Replace(s,String.fromCharCode(14), '');
  return s;
}
