Dear,

Welcome to the board.

You can modify your script to check at which statement your script stops. See following
information about "how to modify your code".

Question: is debugging possible without user intervention? YES

A way of checking your script is by using our tool kix400strip.exe on our site
http://home.wanadoo.nl/scripting
With the option /debug we add additional kixtart code, which shows

  • which line was executed.
  • what was the time of execution.
  • what was the error status of previous executed line.

So it is possible to catch the error status of kixtart statements during
a logon session.

An example.

For changing your script with debugging code use
f.e. kix400strip input.kix output.kix /debug
Change line.4 of this new script

code:

IF RedirectOutput("")
ENDIF


to f.e.
code:

IF RedirectOutput("c:\kixdebug.log")
ENDIF


and commented all lines with a RedirectOutput statement.
During the execution the information will be append to previous information.
So it is possible to check the differences.

A kixstrip output example of our script os.kix is:

code:

CLS
COLOR C+/N
AT (1,1) " "
IF RedirectOutput("")
ENDIF
? "-"+@date+" "+@time+"- Script "+@kix+" starting."
