You have a misplaced apostrophe. Put the apostrophe before the comma, leaving the NO_SCREEN argument unquoted, as follows:   HOST('DIR C:\A_DIR > C:\TEMP\A_FILE.TXT', NO_SCREEN); With your syntax, Forms will send the ,NO_SCREEN to the command processor as part of the host command and will not interpret it as a parameter to the HOST builtin.
