Are you using the optional * as the last parameter in this command? If not, put it in, and give this a try. Steve :-) -----Original Message----- From: 4d_tech-bounces@...

Fred,
We are struggling with this exact problem at one customer site. As far as we can tell, the message is a misnomer. I ran tests to see what would cause this error, and I believe it happens if the file already exists and you did not pass the *. I also believe it happens when you pass an invalid path (which by the way you have to use \\). If you figure this one out, please let me know, because this is a real pain in my side, and the customer is not happy that this message keeps popping up. You may want to try something, but not sure it will fix it.... Try using a path with no spaces in it, something like C:\Temp\XXX.PDF Steve :-) -----Original Message----- From: 4d_tech-bounces@...

I didnt count -
could it be a matter of too long a path? as I recall there is a 255 character limit to paths (or at least there was) On Thu, 26 Jun 2008 14:49:55 -0500, Stephen Orth wrote: > Fred, > > We are struggling with this exact problem at one customer site.

In our case, I have tried introducing delays, but it really has not solved the problem. I just wish the error was more informative as to what really is happening.

Problem with ARRAY TO LIST
by Mehboob Alam

Rate this Message:
I'm playing with an old 4D sample file that catalogs the files on a disk, and trying it out with 4Dv11. I ran into this code
C_LONGINT(◊VolumeHList) ARRAY STRING(31;$aVolumes;0) ◊VolumeHList:=New list VOLUME LIST($aVolumes) ... ARRAY TO LIST($aVolumes;◊VolumeHList) generates a runtime error "An Alphanumeric argument was expected." $aVolumes has two elements, the names of the two partitions on my laptop. <>VolumeHList is a numeric value.. I'm not that familiar with hierarchal lists, so I'm not sure what's up here.. The alternate syntax that I'm familiar with would have put the two string items into the list. The would be the list defined in the designer mode. ********************************************************************** 4D Server v11 SQL has arrived!

Christian, this is what I'm puzzling over.. the code clearly creates a new HList, so it's not trying to save to an existing old-style list. The syntax-checked in 4Dv11 (std edition) does not flag this line in any way.

Hi,
There was an undocumented feature in 2004 where you could use ARRAY TO LIST, LIST TO ARRAY with list references instead of list names. Such codes would pass the compiler and work in compiled mode. I can confirm that the code will still pass compilation in v11, but will generate a runtime error.
