I have a reporting system that creates two separate reports for long term and short term reports. It's a rather lengthy script being about 400 lines in total. Its been working fine for weeks, but today it just stopped and began throwing pretty uninformative exception. I have no idea what it causing it. The line of code it's complaining about is actually white space...

> Traceback (most recent call last):  
> File "event:actionPerformed", line 370, in   
> File "event:actionPerformed", line 98, in weekly  
> java.lang.Exception: java.lang.Exception

```
caused by Exception

Hi @brendan.curran,

It may be best to get in contact with support about this issue. Right now there isn’t enough information for us to determine a fix.
