Hi Christine,

To answer you question it dies on the page break (this one:  page{@}{@}Boston
Naming Test - Page 3
).  The script only breaks for this one instrument, if I remove it from the
ip_output.txt the script works fine.  What's weird is the static field that
I added was to a different instrument all together, so the fact that it
fails the 2nd time is quite unusual.  Can I just remove all of the page
breaks from the ip_output.txt file?

best,
Tom
