I am using VFP8 on Windows XP. foxrun.pif points to cmd.exe
Some time ago I started to experience an error "program too big to fit into memory' for the following snippet:

LCOMMAND = 'xcopy \quitelongdir1\permits\*.pdf \quitelongdir1\permits\*.PDF /S /Y'
RUN &LCOMMAND

at the same time no problem with

lcommand = 'xcopy \quitelongdir1\permits\*.pdf \quitelongdir2\permits\*.PDF /S /Y'
STRTOFILE( lcommand , "permcopy.bat" ) 
RUN permcopy.bat

Is there any way to make former work ?

TIA
Michael
