Error executing file

Hello,

I am evaluating Macro Scheduler (which means I am brand new to it, so I apologise for potentially stupid questions). I created the code below, which returns an error upon trying to execute the very first command.

The .xs file (H:\Exceed\tasDEV.xs) is associated with an application (Exceed) and if I type H:\Exceed\tasDEV.xs in a DOS window, it starts up as it should.

The exact error message is: Error executing H:\Exceed\tasDEV.xs (11)
There is an OK and an Abort button. Both make the error window disappear but nothing else happens.

Any help would be highly appreciated!

Thanks,

Gabor

RunProgram>H:\Exceed\tasDEV.xs
WaitWindowOpen>tasdev*
IfWindowOpen>TASDEV
Goto>Su
Else
Wait>2
Send>mypassword
Endif

Label>Su
Send>su - oracle
Press Enter
Wait>1.08
Send>mypassword
Press Enter
Wait>1.02
Send>. .gabor
Press Enter

.xs is a script not an executable file, you could try running it in a command window like this:

RunProgram>cmd /c H:\Exceed\tasDEV.xs

Actually what you should do is use ExecuteFile not Run Program. Run Program runs a program or executable. To execute a file based on it's file extension you should use ExecuteFile:

ExecuteFile>H:\Exceed\tasDEV.xs

That's a very clean solution!
I tested it and it works like a charm!

Thanks again!
