You should first redimension the destination array for the sum of the elements of the two arrays. Try the following before your ACOPY:

DIMENSION FILEINFO(56,[Your Columns])

This will add three new elements to your existing array. I assume that 53 is the last element in FILEINFO. To automate this, try the following:

DIMENSION FILEINFO((ALEN(Details)/[Details' column count])+;
(ALEN(FILEINFO)/[Fileinfo's column count]),;
[Fileinfo's column count])
