Bob,
Assuming you have: SET ERROR VAR verror … before that code, the problem is that the error variable will only tell you if the ZIP itself was successful, not the actual MOVE. You need to code a routine to copy the source file then delete the source file, testing to see if the file exists at various points. There are all sorts of ways to go about this part, many of which can be done without writing either .bat or .cmd files. If you’d like an example, contact me off-list.

However when I compile it, this section of code does not work the same. --copy 856 file to 856 directory ZIP cmd.exe /c MOVE &vedifile &v856file IF verror <> 0 THEN PROPERTY move856 visible 'true' ELSE PROPERTY move856 visible 'false' ENDIF vError always returns as 1 when running compiled but works as expected when running from the R>. Is the ZIP /C command not supported in the compiler? Any other thoughts? Thanks, -Bob
