Yep - don't use macro expansion if you can avoid it; you create your own problems for the command line parser in the example above, because the space in the macro-expanded line is seen as a peparator. You could encapsulate the macro expansion in quotes, but using name resolution instead would avoid the problem neatly, and is faster as well! For the example above, try:

m_file = GETFILE()
APPEND FROM (m_file) SDF

or if you didn't need to save the file name at all beyond the APPEND:

APPEND FROM (GETFILE()) SDF
