Razzak: Could you answer one question someone had? They asked if you have a while loop with a "run" command in it, and that run program also has a while loop... How does that all add up with the 64K buffer size? Thanks!

Ajay, Here's the reason and the explanation of -ERROR- 218 ... All commands from the start of a WHILE loop to the corresponding ENDWHILE command are stored in a scratch buffer. This buffer is limited to 64K of memory. Too many commands in the WHILE loop prevent the command file from finishing; approaching this limit can prevent other kinds of processing such as checking data against data entry rules or using expressions. Take a close look at all your RUN statements and make sure the last file uses the RETURN command to return back to the calling command. Depending on your programming logic, and all internal routines, you may consider using "QUIT TO commandfile.rmd" instead of RUN commandfile.rmd.
