Assistance with a Crashing Key-In File

Hello,

I am using Excel to write a series of key-ins. The idea is to unclip, shift, and reclip a couple of references, then save a copy of the file with a given name, and repeat. It also attaches, moves, and scales a couple raster images, detaching them after the save (so before the next one is attached). That way, we can automate the generation of 250+ sheets using input values for the shift amounts, raster filepaths, and file names in Excel, with the option to update said values and regenerate the sheet set with a new script if need be. By putting the sheet information (plans, title blocks, etc.) in reference files, we can revise as much as possible in the references without manually revising all 250+ sheets or regenerating the script if we don't have to.

However, in my newest version of the script, OpenRoads CONNECT Edition crashes without successfully running the script. It's not an issue with the script size, as I have been testing with a single iteration (copied below), but the last version worked with all 250+ iterations. It might be an issue with syntax or me using the wrong commands, but I have entered sections of the code below (both as a .txt and directly into the key-in tool), and all parts of the script seem to work individually, so I am not sure what the issue is with the cumulative script. I am learning all of this key-in wizardry for this project (and am still a novice in ORD/MSTN in general), so maybe I'm missing something, and any help would be much appreciated, thanks. Note that some file names/paths have been generalized/edited after the fact to avoid disclosure.
