Those work fine here too.

I did, but removing them made no difference. I don't see anything wrong in this handler either. Perhaps FileMaker is choking on something. I get the same results running the script from Script Editor as well as FileMaker.
Just thought of something. The offending script has a comment at the beginning that looks like this:
(*
Some long comment
*)
the script returns only --> (*
and nothing below that. Maybe FileMaker wants to put the rest into another record(?)
on decompile(thisScript)
tell application "Finder" to set {theName, modDate} to {name, modification date} of thisScript
set x to month of modDate as number
set SmodDate to (x as text) & "/" & day of modDate & "/" & text -4 thru text item -1 of (year of modDate as text)
set thePath to thisScript as text
set poxPath to POSIX path of thisScript
set qfPoxPath to quoted form of poxPath
try
set theScript to do shell script "/usr/bin/osadecompile " & qfPoxPath
set dataList to {theName, (SmodDate as text), thePath, theScript}
tell application "FileMaker Pro"
set newRecord to create new record with data dataList at table "testdb" of database "testdb"
end tell
end try
end decompile
I'm just going to put this one in the strange results bin as it appears to work with every other script on my machine. It won't break my fingers to copy - paste two scripts from Script Editor ;-)
Thanks
Joe
