Hi,

I was having a problem yesterday with saving
my job database (I'll post more on that later).
Anyway, I saw your new upgrade thinking that would
solve my problem, but my startup script that worked
perfectly before is now giving me errors.

The error I keep getting with the new upgrade is:
"Bad argument type, expecting variable for return."

Here is a snippet of my code:

------------------
Dim (global.RootPath, string)
Set (global.RootPath, "\\\\@V"computer"\\24x7\\")

// Indicator if TEST or PROD system.
Dim (global.isTestServer, boolean)
Dim (global.isProdServer, boolean)
Dim serverName, string
Dim p, number
Set(serverName,"@V"computer"")
BOMBS HERE!!!!========>Upper(serverName,serverName) GetUCGJobName(8,UCGjobName)<==============
LogToAppStatOnEvent("@V"event"",UCGJobName)
------------------

There seems to be a real serious bug in your new
release. Thank god my production server does not
have that many scripts running on it yet, or I'd be
looking really bad.

I can email you my startup script that just sets up
a bunch of global variables if you would like.

Hmm, my code didn't post right.

Here they are again:
Snippet #1: [Bombs on Upper() function]

Dim (global.RootPath, string)
Set (global.RootPath, "\\\\@V"computer"\\24x7\\")

// Indicator if TEST or PROD system.
Dim (global.isTestServer, boolean)
Dim (global.isProdServer, boolean)
Dim serverName, string
Dim p, number
Set(serverName,"@V"computer"")
Upper(serverName,serverName)
Pos(serverName,"TEST",1,p)
IsGreater(p,0,global.isTestServer)
Not(global.isTestServer,global.isProdServer)

Snippet #2 [Bombs on GetUCGJobName() function]

dim UCGjobName,String
dim failFile, string, "futurestransfer_error.trg"
ConcatEx(global.TriggersInDir,failFile,failFile)

// the following covers error coditions from 24x7 perspective.
SendGenericErrorNotificationONCE(8,"@V"event"")
// Covers error coditions from program perspective (looks for .fail file)
SendFileExistsNotificationONCE(8,failFile,"","","","@V"event"","ERROR/FINISH")

// log stuff to AppStat.
GetUCGJobName(8,UCGjobName)
LogToAppStatOnEvent("@V"event"",UCGJobName)

Thanks for letting us know about this problem. We are working on an emergency fix. Hopefully it be available later day.

BTW, this is a side effect of one of the changes made in the script engine. I am really sorry for the caused inconvenience.

Please re-download and re-install the upgrade. This problem is now fixed.
