Thanks Emmitt,
Yes, I have the set error var declared previously. I do need confirmation as when I wrote the code several months ago (just now moving it to another PC as compiled) I had asked the question on the list and recieved the answer that I could trap the status of the zipped command. 0=success 1= failed. I need to get confirmation if this is correct or not, as it certainly effects my code. It does seem to work as I expect at the R:>. It is after compiled that I am seeing the issue. I have not dug up the original email, but I think Bill Downal may have pointed me in the direction. (Hint.. Bill ...??) I may have misunderstood, but it did work uncompiled for some months. (I know how to dump file lists into temp tables and do a check that way, but this method is streamlined if it works) If any one can confirm the error trapping I would appreciate it. That may be why I was using ZIP instead of LAUNCH, to get the error trapping? Thanks all. -Bob ----- Original Message ----- From: "Emmitt Dove" <[email protected]> To: "RBASE-L Mailing List" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, December 7, 2010 1:20:05 PM Subject: [RBASE-L] - RE: v8 compiled app ----- Original Message ----- From: "Emmitt Dove" <[email protected]> To: "RBASE-L Mailing List" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, December 7, 2010 1:20:05 PM Subject: [RBASE-L] - RE: v8 compiled app Bob, Assuming you have: SET ERROR VAR verror … before that code, the problem is that the error variable will only tell you if the ZIP itself was successful, not the actual MOVE. You need to code a routine to copy the source file then delete the source file, testing to see if the file exists at various points. There are all sorts of ways to go about this part, many of which can be done without writing either .bat or .cmd files. If you’d like an example, contact me off-list.

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
