    I find out the way:

    function GetObjectTypeCode(entityName) {


        try {

            var lookupService = new RemoteCommand("LookupService", "RetrieveTypeCode");
            lookupService.SetParameter("entityName", entityName);
            var result = lookupService.Execute();

            if (result.Success && typeof result.ReturnValue == "number") {
                return result.ReturnValue;
            } else {
                return null;
            }
        }
        catch (ex) {
            throw ex;
        }
    }

          Hi,

          "ObjectTypeCode” resides in “etc” query string  parameter. Then you could use the below JScript statement to get “ObjectTypeCode”

      var currEntityObjTypeCode= Xrm.Page.context.getQueryStringParameters().etc

      I hope it helps !

    Hi,

        You can get object type code by fallowing java script code.

        var objTypeCode = crmForm.ObjectTypeCode; //works till roll-up 11

        var objTypeCode = Xrm.Page.context.getQueryStringParameters().etc; //works in roll-up 12/13

    for other java script issues due to roll-up 12 please open this url

    Thanks !!
