Hey Chris,

In Clipper you can't expand the whole command, try this:
lccmnd = '"incoming.txt" DELIMITED WITH '+CHR(96)
append from &lccmnd &&(you may need to break it down further)

(if you don't have it solved yet, I'll send more info from home tonite)


>lccmnd='APPEND FROM "incoming.txt" DELIMITED WITH CHARACTER '+CHR(96)

>* then macro expand the variable to append from the file
>* EVAL(lccmnd) ?
>* &(lccmnd) ?
>* &lccmnd ?
