  logPrefix = scriptName + " => "
  if (logger.isInfoEnabled()):
  startTime = Date().getTime()
  title = "****** ScriptName: " + scriptName + "; LaunchPoint: "
  + launchPoint + "******************************** TS: " +
  str(startTime)
  title_len = len(title)
  logger.info(logPrefix + "Begin Script " + "*" * title_len)
  logger.info(logPrefix + " " + title)
  logger.info(logPrefix + " " + "*" * title_len)

  if (logger.isInfoEnabled()):
  logger.info(logPrefix + "ASSETSPEC.NUMVALUE isNull: " +
  str(mbo.isNull("NUMVALUE")))
  logger.info(logPrefix + "ASSETSPEC.NUMVALUE value : " +
  mbo.getString("NUMVALUE"))
  #################################################### Custom
  code - End
  if (logger.isInfoEnabled()):
  endTime = Date().getTime()
  elapsedTime = str(endTime - startTime)
  logger.info(logPrefix + "End Script. Elapsed time in
