Claudine,

You can try this (untested).

SET VAR vQuotes = (CVAL('QUOTES'))
SET VAR vfilename1 TEXT = NULL
SET VAR vfilename2 TEXT = NULL

SET VAR vDeleteFileCommand TEXT = ('DELETE ' + .vQuotes +.vfilename2 + .vQuotes)
SET VAR vCopyFileCommand TEXT = ('COPY ' + .vQuotes + .vfilename1 + .vQuotes 
&.vQuotes + .vfilename2 + .vQuotes)

&vDeleteFileCommand
PAUSE FOR 2
&vCopyFileCommand

Subject: [RBASE-L] - ERASE filespec

Hello all,

I’m having a bit of a headache with an ERASE filespec command which has worked 
reliably for weeks, works reliably from the R:> prompt and yields “Failed 
deleting… (2262)” then “Cannot create destination file (2086)” from within a 
form when I:
ERASE .filename2
And
COPY .filename1 .filename2

Permissions are ok…  Undoubtedly my fault but I can’t find it, help!

TIA,

Claudine
