How about
EXECUTE "DOS /C DIR UVUSR\LFC\&HOLD&\INSRECAP\SutherlandIssues200604.csv"
So that it's all one command?
And your fall back could always be to move the &HOLD& record into
another file without the &s and Execute against it.

Windows is choking on the "&". It thinks "HOLD" is a file in the LFC
directory.
I tried the following-
EXECUTE DOS /C DIR "UVUSR\LFC\&HOLD&\INSRECAP\SutherlandIssues200604.csv"
EXECUTE DOS /C DIR 'UVUSR\LFC\&HOLD&\INSRECAP\SutherlandIssues200604.csv'
EXECUTE DOS /C DIR UVUSR\LFC\&&HOLD&&\INSRECAP\SutherlandIssues200604.csv
and a few other things, but no go.
