It looks like you have cut off part of your code at the bottom, post code, not pictures of code. Please see [Wiki - how to post code on this forum](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/wiki-how-to-post-code-on-this-forum/77831).

Other points of note:  
-This doesn't appear to be a project library script, as I'm not seeing any function `def` anywhere.  
-Don't use `exit()`, full stop. If you need to exit your logic early, put your logic in a function in the project library and use `return`. Call said function from your button.  
-Ignition provides built in methods for both reading and writing to files. Use `system.file.writeFile` instead of `ImageIO.write`.  
-In general, use built in Ignition methods before deferring to java or python packages (especially with times/dates).
