[RBASE-L] - Why won't this work during trace, but does work during RUN?

[Michael J. Sinclair]

Hi All,

 

I am using Rbase 7.6, latest build.

I am trying to load a list of file names into a table. The method I am using seems to work just fine when I run the command, but fails (nothing loads into the table) while I am doing a trace. The program is run from within an EEP.  Here is my code....

 

ERASE dir.txt
OUTPUT dir.txt
DIR .vfromspec
OUTPUT SCREEN
DELETE FROM asciitxt2
LOAD asciitxt2 FROM dir.txt AS FORMATTED USING textdata 1 80
EDIT ALL FROM asciitxt2

 

The contents of dir.txt is as follows....

 

 Volume in drive g is 320GB
 Volume Serial Number is 8464-4871

 Directory of g:\docs\1913\labs\

02/20/2010  10:43 PM   <DIR>             .
02/20/2010  10:43 PM   <DIR>             ..
11/28/2009  03:02 PM               9,618 labs_1913_0001.pdf
           1 File(s)               9,618 bytes
           2 Dir(s)       28,672,167,936 bytes free

 

Why won't this work for me during a trace? Is there a better way to load a list of filename from a folder into a table?
