Hello, Adrian: Thank you for reviewing my question.
I run R:BASE eXtreme on a local computer under Windows 7 Pro. My command file resides in D:\RBASE\DATA\MNT_RELD.RMD and the databases reside in D:\RBASE\AUTOMATION. I did some additional testing today with the nagging thought of PATH issues in the back of my mind. I updated the commands to fully spell out the program locations. They are called using the QUIT TO syntax. Revised syntax: IF DBS_TYPE = 'P' THEN QUIT TO D:\RBASE\DATA\MNT_RELD.RMD -- (This was the problem program.) ELSE QUIT TO D:\RBASE\DATA\MNT_COPY.RMD -- (This one worked OK working on the same databases.) ENDIF After making this revision it appears that I have found the solution. The MNT_RELD.RMD program ran as designed after this change. The puzzling thing is that I use a similar command structure in the MNT_COPY.RMD program but it only does an AUOTCHK on databases and then, if they check out OK, copies them to a backup folder. The difference appears to be that running the commands in the ".ALL" file to create a new database makes the difference. Maybe it's something with the memory stack? Whatever the case I am happy to have found what seems to be the solution. Thanks again for giving me some things to consider. Kind regards.

Any used procedure file available after AUTOCHK? How it works, if you prepare new database locally and move the database after AutoChk to the needed location?

The program runs fine as long as the UNLOAD ALL, AUTOCHK and running the ".ALL" file is done in the same folder as the command file. The program processes 10 large databases this way. However, if I try to run the program from the home folder ("D:\RBASE\DATA") on databases in another folder ("D:\RBASE\AUTOMATION") it's as if at some point R:BASE loses track of where it was in the running program. I'm not saying that's the case it's just the way it appears. I use the CHDIR command to change to the appropriate folder where the database is located to do the maintenance and then use CHDIR to return to the folder of the main command file when the operation is complete. I then update a database with pertinent information regarding how the program ran and then proceed to the next database. The program will get as far as running the ".ALL" program to create a fresh database and performing an AUTOCHK but then it just stops. The database is fine and no errors are generated. I have meticulously TRACEd the command file and monitored all of the variables. Nothing's apparent as far as a logic problem. Is there something akin to a PATH environment variable that should be set? I would greatly appreciate some guidance.
