That should run it. If you put some messageboxes or debugs into the function you
should see them and be assured it is running.

This line is wrong:

> appRef.DoScript myJavaScript, idScriptLanguage.idJavascript, arguments[0])

Some of the problems:
1. no open parenthesis
2. you need the value not the name for idnames used in vbscripts and powerpro
3. There is no variable named arguments[0]

This works for me:
local idScriptLanguage=1246973031 ;;idJavascript
appRef.DoScript(myJavaScript, idScriptLanguage)

You could also use the value directly in the call, e.g.,
appRef.DoScript(myJavaScript, 1246973031)
