You'd think, but there was definitely no change to the environment nor any update to any of the applications or the OS nor anything but incremental changes to the FrameMaker source. One day it worked, the next day it didn't. If FrameMaker tech support covered ExtendScript maybe they could have sort

Well, I guess the current use case is fairly simple. Suppose we use a marker in the text: Header/Footer $1. This marker has as content the name of the image, let's say Pict0001. The Running H/F will display the text (Pict0001). So what we need is an extend script that replaces the H/F text with
