Just tested on 10.8.5 with your exact code using system info as the variable and the file doesn't write at all.

I have written out arrays into a pList with no problem.

Are your records that you successfully write to a pList using strings as property names?

Running this code (which calls your routine) under 10.8.5 fails to create a file on the desktop.

on run {}
set myThing to (system info) as record
writeRecordToPlist(myThing)
end run

on writeRecordToPlist(aRecord)
set newFilePath to ((path to desktop) as text) & "record-display"
tell application "System Events"
make new property list item with properties {kind:record, value:aRecord}
make new property list file with properties {contents:the result, name:newFilePath}
end tell
end writeRecordToPlist

Here it refuse to compile.

It stops on line :

make new property list item with properties {kind:record, value:aRecord}

The Events Log is :

tell current application

system info

--> {AppleScript version:"2.3.1", AppleScript Studio version:"1.5.3", system version:"10.9.2", short user name:"••••••••", long user name:"••••••••", user ID:501, user locale:"fr_FR", home directory:alias "Macintosh HD:Users:••••••:", boot volume:"Macintosh HD", computer name:"••••••••", host name:"••••••••", IPv4 address:"••••••••", primary Ethernet address:"••••••••", CPU type:"Intel 80486", CPU speed:2800, physical memory:12288}

path to desktop

--> alias "Macintosh HD:Users:••••••••:Desktop:"

end tell

tell application "System Events"

make new property list item with properties {kind:record, value:{AppleScript version:"2.3.1", AppleScript Studio version:"1.5.3", system version:"10.9.2", short user name:"••••••••", long user name:"••••••••", user ID:501, user locale:"fr_FR", home directory:alias "Macintosh HD:Users:••••••••:", boot volume:"Macintosh HD", computer name:"••••••••", host name:"••••••••", IPv4 address:"••••••••", primary Ethernet address:"••••••••", CPU type:"Intel 80486", CPU speed:2800, physical memory:12288}}

--> property list item "sans titre"

--> error "Record keys for property list items must be strings, not terminology." number -1703

Résultat :

error "Erreur dans System Events : Record keys for property list items must be strings, not terminology." number -1703 to item
