Closing showWaitScreenWithNoClose in SharePoint CSOM

Question

I am creating a list using REST APIs. In my JavaScript code I have written something like this:

// If I declare 'waitDialog' then it is not get closed by 
// calling 'waitDialog.close()'. Without any declaration it works.
var waitDialog;

function createList() {

    // Show wait dialog
    waitDialog = SP.UI.ModalDialog.showWaitScreenWithNoClose("Please wait...", "Please wait...", 100, 300);

    jQuery.ajax({
        // List data
        },
        success: doSuccess,
        error: doError
    });
}

function doSuccess(data) {
    waitDialog.close(); // Close wait dialog
}

function doError(data, errorCode, errorMessage) {
    waitDialog.close(); // Close wait dialog
}

If I declare waitDialog with statement var waitDialog; then it does not work by calling waitDialog.close(). Without any declaration it works and the dialog is closed. I found this question which elaborates on the difference between using var, but nothing which would clarify this case.

Any idea why does it work without declaration and not with declaration?

I could not recreate your declaration issue. One thing I noticed... I believe you need to pass the SP.UI.DialogResult enumerable to the close method

waitDialog.close(SP.UI.DialogResult.OK);

//show and hide waiting on it javascript

function waitMessage() {
    window.parent.eval("window.waitDialog = SP.UI.ModalDialog.showWaitScreenWithNoClose('Processing...', '', 90, 300);");
}

function closeMessage() {
    if (window.frameElement != null) {
        if (window.parent.waitDialog != null) {
            window.parent.waitDialog.close();
        }
    }
}
