I must not be understanding the error variable function, so hopefully someone can help out.
In an app, I am copying files to a different folder. I have the following setup to check for errors. Set Error Variable ON SET ERROR VAR vError .... (many lines of code) ..... SET VAR vedifile = 'G:\RBTI\Edi_V8\*.850' SET VAR vcopyto = 'G:\RBTI\Edi_V8\Archive\*.850' COPY .vedifile .vcopyto IF verror <> 0 THEN CLS PAUSE 1 USING 'Error Archiving File! Contact IT Department' + CAPTION 'House of Fara EDI System' ICON stop ELSE PROPERTY MessageText caption 'File(s) archived!' ERASE .vedifile ENDIF .....more code The HELP files state : " R:BASE resets the error variable to zero as each command is successfully run" The issue seems to be that vError does not always return the same value if the operation succeeds. I have traced the app and also displayed the value for vError while running the app and sometimes it returns the word "OK" and other times it returns the number "0" (ZERO) if the file copy succeeds. Therefore my "IF vError <> 0 Then" does not always work. Is the ERROR Variable function not be applicable to the file COPY command? What other methods are being used to verify a copy command has succeeded? Thanks in advance for any education on the error variable function. (version v8) -Bob
