This test rig works:
SET TRACE ON
CLEAR VAR vjim_%
SET VAR vjim_source TEXT = 'D:\TESTBED\HUMPTY\*.*'
SET VAR vjim_target TEXT = 'D:\TESTBED\DUMPTY\*.*'
SET VAR vjim_testFiles TEXT = (.vjim_source & .vjim_target)
SET VAR vjim_testCopy TEXT = ('COPY' & .vjim_testFiles)
&vjim_testCopy
SET TRACE OFF
RETURN
Best to you, Bruce

Hi, Nicky, and Good Mornin:
Thanks for the suggestion, which I tried this AM. Sorry NO GO.
Sample of trace attached.

The command is: COPY C:\UBILL\*.* &VF _TO
I think you have lost a chunk of code and a period. You're trying to
get COPY to execute an ampersand variable and I don't believe it will.
However, if you put in a period between the & and VF_TO, I think you
will be in good shape.
SET VAR VF_TO TEXT = ('COPY C:\UBILL\*.*'& . VF_TO)
&VF_TO
