RUN can only handle actual executables. You *may* be able to run it by running "COMMAND /someswitch 4glprog parm1 parm2 parm3" (since command.com is the actual executable you want to run; I think some switch tells it to go run a batch file and exit). Make sure your RUNned 4gl program doesn't switch or close databases... >When the batch file is run standalone error does not appear.
