Running FM 5.0 on Mac 9.2.2

Here's something weird. I have a big script that runs a dozen sub-scripts one after the other, to prepare data for export. Yesterday I added one new subscript to this, which essentially found a small set and performed replaces on a dozen fields. I tested the subscript and it ran perfectly. However, when I ran the main script, it halted telling me it couldn't find that subscript. Scriptmaker shows that Perform Script step as <unknown> and my new subscript is gone from the script list!

I rewrote the subscript, and redid the main script and tried it again. Once again my new subscript vanished from the list and the Perform Script step in the main script came up with an <unknown> halt.

Any ideas?

Might be some kind of corruption in the file. You might try running recover and see if it helps.

Hi Steve,

I have had this happen in the past... It was that the sub-scripts were in another file that has had a name change or was moved to another directory. This creates confusion for the 'main' script. This will typically result in a 'locate' file dialog box.

Hope this helps...
