Scala execute & ARexx

[Murray_2]

I'm trying to get the execute module in Scala MM300 to send Arexx scripts.  I want to automate frame grabbing with my IV24 card in an A2000.  ARexx starts on boot-up.  I also have an infrared commander controlling my DVD player.  That works from the execute module but nothing else.  Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong.  The ARexx script controlling the framegrab works when sent from a CLI prompt.

When sending to the Infrared controller I'm using with Scala I send:
'Address infrarexx dvd_frame_adv'
This works (advances the dvd one frame!)
but
'address rexx_iv24cp iv24cp_digitize' does nothing

Via a shell/CLI I can successfully send a command
RX 'address rexx_iv24cp iv24cp_digitize' or the name of a Arexx file name - for example
RX s:Digitize which would read
/* comment */
address 'infrarexx'
'dvd_frame_adv'

address 'rexx_iv24cp'
'iv24cp_digitize'

The only script/command I've been able to get Scala to send is for the infrared controller.  For the IV24 Board it seems to do nothing.  Sometimes the screen goes blank but nothing is saved to disk.  It seems as though Scala can't find something but infrarexx has a way of getting around the problem.  I haven't yet tried to get Scala to send to another Arexx compatible application.

Hi Leirbag28 and any others following this,

I have tried to download OPtyCDplayer but no joy. I keep getting an ftp error message.  Any chance of you spelling out how you link Arexx scripts to the buttons?  I actually wanted the scripts to work automatically from out of Scala, but it might give me a clue if I can see how you've sent them.  I'd still like to use Scala for the project if I can because it will allow me (theoretically) to pause between frame advance and grabbing the next picture.  If I don't do that I can grab really good pictures but with the "Pause" symbol from the dvd player still on the picture.

Regards,

Murray
