ARexx server
The very first thing you should check is: Is the Arexx server running?
That is, have you at least started RexxMast in some fashion, either through
your User-Startup, WBStartup or double-clicking on it's icon?
I know it seems obvious, but you wouldn't believe the problems some people
have, (right Ash? :)
If you're not sure, just run RexxMast, if it has already been run it will
tell you the server is already running.
Script Format
Possibly the reason is something as simple as you haven't made the first
line of the script a comment. If the first line isn't a comment ARexx won't
even give you the benefit of a error code, as far as it is concerned, it
isn't a script.
No results
The script seems to run, but you don't get the right results, you might
have forgotten to put options results near the start of the script
to enable the RESULT variable.
Opus ARexx commands fail but look OK
I've found that the Opus ARexx interface is very sensitive to the presence
or lack of quotes around commands. Jon would say that this is normal for
ARexx, but I don't believe him :)
So if you are having problems with some Opus ARexx commands try putting
quotes around all or part of the line in question.
No output, wasn't even executed
Sometimes a script won't execute and you get no indication, it's usually
because the interpreter (ARexx server) found a syntax fault with it when it
parsed it before execution.
Try executing it from a shell, you'll get all error messages then.
