SYSTEM command third argument rejects

[NorthNone]

FocWizard, I read your post ( thread243-604062 )
and tried it, but I get
(FOC36355) INVALID TYPE OF ARGUMENT #3 FOR USER FUNCTION SYSTEM
when 'I4' is the third argument for format.

-SET &CMD = 'XCOPY C:\IBI\PGFTEMP\S1590R-3.XLS \\E6BISRV01\WEB\SALES\OUT\S1590R-3.XLS';
-SET &RC = SYSTEM(&CMD.LENGTH,&CMD,'I4');

Any ideas?
TIA
JSouth

The answer (thanks to FocWizard) was 'D4'
"According to the doc, the return arg for the SYSTEM
routine is DOUBLE PRECISION. Try the last arg as 'D4'."
