EXECUTE DOS /C DIR UVUSR\LFC\&HOLD&\INSRECAP\SutherlandIssues200604.csv CAPTURING msg RETURNING err Windows is choking on the "&". It thinks "HOLD" is a file in the LFC directory. I tried the following- EXECUTE DOS /C DIR "UVUSR\LFC\&HOLD&\INSRECAP\SutherlandIssues200604.csv" EXECUTE DOS /C DIR 'UVUSR\LFC\&HOLD&\INSRECAP\SutherlandIssues200604.csv' EXECUTE DOS /C DIR UVUSR\LFC\&&HOLD&&\INSRECAP\SutherlandIssues200604.csv and a few other things, but no go. We are on Universe 10.1.10 Windows XP 2002 Thanks in advance.
