+On this last pass you can add a comment to the replacement line, such as incomingValue;<nowiki>  <!--fixed today--></nowiki> , and put today's date in place of "today"
+Note: the OK comment  <nowiki> <!--OK--> </nowiki> and other comments added in these steps will be removed after you load the project into TransSECS and re-save.
+This procedure should help you modify projects using scripts in which there is no output at the end of the script. However, it is good to do a quick check of your project after these changes. Also there can be some casese where incomingValue; is not inserted before the end of the script because the last line in the script ended with a ; and there is no output on that line. For example, if your last line was a DataSource.logMessage("some message"); this will not get an incomingValue; added and logMessage does not return a value so this can still cause the script not to execute the next time it is triggered. If you had a method call on the last line which does return a value then this satisfies the output requirement. Likewise if your last line was a comment such as <nowiki>"//this is a comment"</nowiki> then a new incomingValue; will be added.
