I was trying to validate a job, and I received an error message that I've never seen before. The dialog box says "Line 0: ." Any idea what this means? The script used to validate properly, but doesn't any more.

Can you reproduce this message after restarting the 24x7

I have restarted 24x7, I have restarted the PC, and I have also copied the script to another job. All with the same results.

: Can you reproduce this message after restarting the 24x7

Can you post your script here?

The @SCRIPT lines are attempts to get a remote agent to run using functions in the script library, but that is a separate issue.

: Can you post your script here?

Commenting @SCRIPT doesn't help because the referenced files are inserted into the script body before the script is parsed or validated... using simple @SCRIPT tag substitution just like all other @ macro-parameters.

Here is my explanation for the error.
One of the referenced files has a syntax error, but the Editor cannot display the error line in the current script which is leading to "line 0" error (the actual error is found outside of the current script).

: The @SCRIPT lines are attempts to get a remote agent to run using functions
: in the script library, but that is a separate issue.

That fixed it. However, I did notice something else: if you use @SCRIPT to reference a file that does not exist, you will also get that same error, rather than a "file does not exist" message.

: Commenting @SCRIPT doesn't help because the referenced files are inserted
: into the script body before the script is parsed or validated... using
: simple @SCRIPT tag substitution just like all other @ macro-parameters.
