Hello Erich thanks for checking. Here is the exact error message for both cases
(one at the time, the program breaks at this statement)
For dirs
*-* Compiled routine "SYSFILETREE".
7 *-* res = SysFileTree(SourceDir || slash || "*","dir","DO")
REX0040E: Error 40 running /Users/po/Data/test2.REX line 7: Incorrect call to
routine.
REX0634E: Error 40.900: SysFileTree() argument 1 must be less than 255
characters in length; length is 300.
For files
*-* Compiled routine "SYSFILETREE".
8 *-* res = SysFileTree(SourceDir || slash || "*","dir","FO")
REX0040E: Error 40 running /Users/po/Data/test2.REX line 8: Incorrect call to
routine.
REX0634E: Error 40.900: SysFileTree() argument 1 must be less than 255
characters in length; length is 300.

My path was
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/AppleTVOS.platform/Developer/Library/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes/tvOS.simruntime/Contents/Resources/RuntimeRoot/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DiagnosticExtensions.framework/PlugIns/com.apple.DiagnosticExtensions.BackgroundAppRefresh.appex
Hope it helps.
Hälsningar/Regards/Grüsse,
