I am running version 1.855xRT03. I have no problem running a command file that is 20 char. long with a 3 char. extension (20.3). When I use the "DIR" command from the R> prompt (no need to go to the DOS Window), the truncated file name is displayed (8 char. , ~ being the 7th character, plus a 3 char. extension - 8.3) which is a DOS legacy name followed by the file size, date, time and at the end of the line the long file name. I have tried using the "RUN" command with the truncated name (8.3) and it also works fine. I seem to recall a thread that discussed this issue a while back where there was length limit on the command file name, and if my memory is correct, one of the recent patches corrected this issue.

Steve, Open a MS-DOS command prompt and do a DIR in the directory your file are stored. The DIR command will give you the 8.3 file name usually something like LONGFI~1.rmd for LONGFILENAME.RMD. Use the 8.3 format as Rbase seems in some cases to have problems with long file names. -- Jim Bentley American Celiac Society [EMAIL PROTECTED] - email (973) 325-8837 voice (973) 669-8808 Fax ---- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Sorry, that didn't work, but, has this worked f/you? > > Steve in Memphis > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Walker, Buddy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Thursday, August 1, 2002 2:21 pm > Subject: RE: Win2K (Long-)File Name (Dumb Q?) > > > Steve > > Try using quotes around the filename > > > > Buddy > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Sent: Thursday, August 01, 2002 2:58 PM > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: Win2K (Long-)File Name (Dumb Q?) > > > > > > Folks, please feel free to laugh/chuckle/harumph, but just > why > > won't my > > RBWIN 6.5++ run some of my longer-named command files.
