Try LAUNCH, as far as I understand the documentation ZIP is more related to the DOS environment
I have solved similar problems by using a BAT file which contains the variables (not very nice, but it works). It look like this: LAUNCH <Programname>.BAT||W The two piping symbols are necessary to enforce the program waiting for respons The bat file is created as follows, where the variable V_BATFILE contains the program instruction. OUTPUT <programname>.BAT SHOW VAR V_BATFILE=200 OUTPUT SCREEN I am in for better ideas.

However when I compile it, this section of code does not work the same. --copy 856 file to 856 directory ZIP cmd.exe /c MOVE &vedifile &v856file IF verror <> 0 THEN PROPERTY move856 visible 'true' ELSE PROPERTY move856 visible 'false' ENDIF vError always returns as 1 when running compiled but works as expected when running from the R>. Is the ZIP /C command not supported in the compiler? Any other thoughts? Thanks, -Bob
