Setting a cell in Numbers with AppleScript is broken - applescript

I have an AppleScript that's been working for several years that I use to populate a Numbers spreadsheet. It's suddenly stopped working and I can't figure out why. The line in question that fails is
set row newSalesRow's cell cellColumn's value to newValue
If I insert numbers for newSalesRow, cellColumn, and newValue it still crashes at that line. I tried
set cell cellColumn of row newSalesRow to newValue
but it also fails. The AppleScript error code is
"-1708: The script doesn’t understand the message. The event was not handled.".

After trying a number of different approaches and getting nowhere for several hours, I restarted Numbers. The problem disappeared. Very frustrating. Thanks for looking at the problem.

Intermec Printer Language - Tabulation Problem

I'm an ABAP programmer and I was asked to make a minor modification to an IPL label.
Easily done, but now I was tasked to fix a long running error within said label.
I know nothing about IPL and the lack of a online viewer makes everything worse...
The problem is that "tabulation" right in the middle of a text (I underlined it in blue on the Label's pic).
I checked the code and there's nothing there that should make that tabulation appear.
I spent a whole month reading manuals and trying to fix it, but nothing changes...
Here's the code and the resulting label:
<STX>R<ETX>
<STX><ESC>C<SI>W791<SI>h<ETX>
<STX><ESC>P<ETX>
<STX>F*<ETX>
<STX>H1;f3;o220,52;c34;b0;h2;w1;d3,300052947-FANDANGOS PRESUNTO 140GX14 LD<ETX>

Can you guys help me, please??
Edit: Just to make it clear, I did that blue line on that image to show what's the problem.
Here are some tests I did by changing the data:
Test1
Test2
The error always appear at the same point in the label, as long as there's a space in that text.
Have you looked at the raw data of the output? Is it POSSIBLE that what looks like a space is actually some special character that is making IPL choke blue? Because it is literally the 1 character between the "O" and "1". For grins, you might also try to change the character in the data to a "-" just for purposes of confirming data context. It might even just be a TAB character.
I have done IPL years ago and have actually gone to the point of defining a pre-defined label template and generating output that says to use template X (whatever # I created as),and pass the data along that fills into the respective fields.
A final option I would throw in is this. Take the sample output you have and just force sample data into each of the output areas. So, instead of your literal data, put fake data in similar context just to see if it is data specific or other. Such as
<STX>H1;f3;o220,52;c34;b0;h2;w1;d3,300052947-FANDANGOS PRESUNTO 140GX14 LD<ETX>
becomes
<STX>H1;f3;o220,52;c34;b0;h2;w1;d3,123456789-TESTING-SAMPLEDATA-123XY12-AB<ETX>
Notice same context of data, but no spaces and using dash "-" just for testing. Is there something special about the actual data. This is a good way I have done historically for similar strangeness early on doing IPL labels.
User decided to not spend anymore time on this issue, so now I'm unable to further test the label.
Unfortunately this problem will go unsolved for now. Hope I get another chance to fix this and learn more about IPL.
Thanks you so much for your answers!

xp20:add-daytime returning FOTY0001 error message

xp20:add-dayTimeDuration-to-dateTime(string(bpws:getVariableData 
('Eligibility_Out','payload','/ns3:response/ns3:AcctEffDt')), string('P7D'))
I am using the above expression in a BPEL Process to add 7 days to a date which has the format of yyyy-mm-ddT00:00:00+00.
If there is no time element to the date the expression works in the unit tests, but because the data is coming from another application it has this time element. However, there is no time to in the date. Unfortunately, when the expression fails with FOTY0001 error message.
I have not been able to find a solution online and I am asking if anyone can help?
Found the problem. It didn't like finding the value and manipulating the value at the same time. So I broke it into two steps

SSRS error on preview : "The size necessary to buffer the XML content exceeded the buffer quota" hides original error

I understand that there is definitely something wrong with my report (e.g. columns missmatcch) and I need to correct it but what I see is the WCF error message that hides actual problem and exactly this hiding irritates me much more than original problem: columns missmatch.
I guess we need to adjust the WCF 'buffer size' and we will get original problem message. But where is the config file?
Text search of "system.serviceModel" in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0 doesn't bring good idea...
P.S. Since this is just preview of report I do not think that it is SSRS configuration problem. Problem localised somewhere in DevStudio process or int the DevStudio's internal web server process ...
P.P.S Please help me too improve the question. I see that responders doesn't understand what kind of help I need.
I have encountered multiple "flavors" of this bug in SSRS Preview. It seems the renderer for Preview mode is quite fragile.
There is a simple way to solve this. Ignore the error and attempt to upload the RDL file to your reporting server. The uploader will happily tell you exactly what is wrong with your file - it will tell you exactly what field has a problem and what that problem is. If there are multiple errors, you will get told each and every field and the error associated with each one.
I can create this bogus XML buffer error with any of the following:
Add a new Tablix, start to connect it to a dataset, then cancel out.
Copy/paste some text into a textbox from a MS Word document where one or more lines have a negative right indent (right column end is outside page margin).
Connect a dataset with a varchar(8000) returned value.
Please Check if any of your report items are referencing fields that are not in existing dataset scope.
This indeed worked for me.
See Below link for more information:

I have seen this error when adding a new field to an existing dataset by clicking "Refresh Fields".
The dataset source was a stored procedure. The result was only a few of original fields showed up in the dataset field list and not the new field. If I tried to preview the report I get XML buffer error.
Workaround was to not refresh fields but hit add new field and type the new field name into the dataset properties field last.
Worked fine after that.
I got this error again today.
I had created a table to hold data to replace two slow queries. I changed some names to clean up the process.
I think the error actually means that there are so many problems with my report that the buffer holding the various error messages isn't large enough which leads to the error message.
The size necessary to buffer the XML content exceeded the buffer quota
Of course this should be an easy fix but Microsoft has said that they will not fix it.

EDIT: I've updated my answer based on having fixed the issue.
I'm currently experiencing this problem after having changed multiple stored procedures and updating the dataset names in the SSRS report.
And when I try to run the preview I get the exact same error.
As it turns out, after investigating the issue, the problem was that I had changed the name property of my datasets.
There several places in my report where formulas or expressions use the old name properties of the datasets I renamed. After reverting the dataset names back, I managed to get the real errors like missing fields etc. atcual errors came back after I set my dataset name properties back to what they were.
I only changed the name property back to what it was, the stored procedure names were correctly referring to my renamed stored procedures.
I had this problem when after copying and pasting a tablix, it changed CDbl in a formula to Microsoft.ReportingServices.RdlObjectModel.ExpressionParser.VBFunctions.CDbl. I opened up the XML and removed all instances of "Microsoft.ReportingServices.RdlObjectModel.ExpressionParser.VBFunctions." and the report then worked.
For a working report, when I tried to add a column it gave me this error. I edited the .rdl file using notepad++. After SSRS prompt to reload the change from disk, it worked without issues.
I got this error after copying my Custom Code to Visual Studio for hightlighting the code for better readability. Well, Visual Studio added class definitions to the beginning and end of the file. After editing code, I pasted it back to report Custom Code, then got this error. Fix was just to remove class definitions (Public Class Class1 and End Class) from Custom Code. So, check your Custom Code also (if any).
I got this error after adding some new parameters to an existing report.
For some reason when I created the parameters first then modified the Dataset to use the new parameters I got the error, but when I modified the Dataset first then added the parameters second and I did not get the error.
This seemed like very strange behavior to me so I tested it by restoring the report from repository and repeating the process three times with each method, and had identical behavior every time.
I am also facing this problem. I solve this Find and replace
Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction.iif ==> iif
Microsoft.ReportingServices.RdlObjectModel.ExpressionParser.VBFunctions.cdbl
==> cdbl
I hope this may helps someone. Thanks
Possible root causes
Parameter name is incorrect(case/order)
Accessing non-existing property.
and many more...
Solution: To get the exact error message are
Deploy SSRS report and find the error : Suggested by "Kim Crosser" already
Remove the section(SSRS/Report content) temporarily you feel is error free to free space in buffer so that you can get actual error message. Later add sections back to the page(removed earlier).
I had the same error message and it was totally caused by my doing. It's a bit embarrassing, but if it helps someone out then great! I had accidentally copied my dataset query that included a small sub select statement within it, which I was using to check parameter/variable values.
Another solution is to open the .rdl file in Report Builder 3.0 (as opposed to Visual Studio) and try to preview it. I found this gave me the details of the error, although if more than one error is present it only shows the first.
I previously binded a TextBox to
Fields!FieldName
and fixed it with
Fields!FieldName.Value
With that said, and with the other answers posted as well, this error happens in different flavors. My issue was fixed after I had the field property "Value" included.

PowerBuilder and batch processing

I'm using PowerBuilder 10.5 and as a newbie I'm a bit stuck and since Google isn't giving me a satisfying answer I'm asking some advice from the Stack Overflow group.
I have a Rich Text Edit field in which the user can write something, insert pictures and so forth. Once finished, he goes to the „Search“ command button and clicking it searches for the batch file that will suit his needs (copy that text into an existing word document, create a new word and place the folder on web, and so fort – there are 6 different batches). The code in the clicked event of „Search“ command button is this:
String ls_s
GetFileOpenName('PB_app', ls_s, ls_s, 'BAT', "Win Batch Files (*.BAT),*.BAT", 'C:\Programs\Test')
And here come my problems: I can't connect my app and the selected batch file. I'd like the path of the selected batch file to be visible in the Single Line Edit filed, but I have no idea how to get there, not to mention I'm point blank at how to connect PB app, batch file, how to even say to the batch file – „That text in rich text edit field is the one you have to work with?“…?
So I need some advice, guidance, perhaps some links or names of any literature that would help me understand how it should be done. I've lost two days and got nowhere, and I just need some piece of advice to get me going…
Your problem is that the original programmer used one variable for two return values. If you declare a new string variable and pass it instead of the first ls_s, you'll see this will return you the path. If you run into trouble, PB has a good help file (and the manuals are also online) which covers GetFileOpenName().
Good luck,
Terry

Excel for Mac - Cells containing user-defined functions won't update

I'm working on some VBA code that writes formulas containing user-defined functions (UDFs) into certain cells of my workbook, e.g.: H1004 = maxdd(H1:H1001).
When I run the code in Excel 2010 (for Windows) everything works as expected:
1) the formulas are written into the cells
2) each cell returns the correct result.
When I run the same code in Excel 2011 for Mac the formulas will also be written into the cells. However, the cells won't return any valid results - instead they display #value errors.
Note: I can't troubleshoot this issue because when I select one of these cells, put the cursor in the formula field, and press return (presumably forcing the cell to evaluate), the correct answer appears.
My question:
What needs to be done to keep Excel for Mac from returning #value errors instead of the plain results?
I finally figured out what caused this problem, although I have no idea why it caused the problem:
In order to make the vba code run faster, I had turned off automatic calculation at the beginning of the code and turned it back on at the end of the code, just like this -->
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
'main part of vba code
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
For some reason, this kept the cells containing user-defined functions from being updated.
Without these two lines of code everything works fine now.
