Let's try this again. I have a program that I use to gauge the time it takes to copy a large database (1 GB) from one computer to another.
Here is the code: DISCONNECT -- PAUSE 1 -- SET VAR vstart_time TIME = .#TIME -- COPY K:\RBASE\DATA\PMISDATA.* D:\RBASE\DATA -- SET VAR vstop_time TIME = .#TIME -- OUTPUT PRINT -- SHOW VAR %time% -- OUTPUT SCREEN -- QUIT The curious problem I have encountered is that if I simply type RUN COPYTEST.PRG at the R> I immediately get an error that says "Cannot create destination file" and the program terminates. If I TRACE the command file, though, it runs just fine. I am copying from a Windows 2000 system to a Windows NT Workstation 4.0 system. Plenty of memory and disk space, etc. I have tried this with different databases with the same result. I am running the latest version of R:Base for Windows 6.5++. Any ideas why RUN doesn't work while TRACE does? Any way to work around it? Thanks -- Mike Ramsour p.s. I just began using the SET ClipBoard command and man do I love it! The LISTOF and ITEMCOUNT are "Glorious" too. Continued thanks and accolades to Razzak and the Dream Team. ================================================ TO SEE MESSAGE POSTING GUIDELINES: Send a plain text email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the message body, put just two words: INTRO rbase-l ================================================ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: send a plain text email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the message body, put just two words: UNSUBSCRIBE rbase-l ================================================ TO SEARCH ARCHIVES: http://www.mail-archive.com/rbase-l%40sonetmail.com/
