system exec - memory full error

[gdutt]

Hello,

I am calling an executable (written in Dev C++)using the system exec VI. Frequently, it reports an error - Memory full , NI-488 detected no listeners. Currently, I try to get around this by exiting Labview, opening it again, and compiling the code again. Then, when I execute, it works correctly. However, the error seems to be occurring more and more often. I am using Labview 7.1 on Windows XP SP2. Does anybody have an idea how to fix this problem?

Thanks.

This error normally occurs when trying to run a command prompt window specific command such as dir or set. To run these commands, execute the command prompt window first with the following command:

cmd /c

For example, to run the DOS command dir, use the following string as your command line input into System Exec.vi:

cmd /C dir C:

Hope this helps!

Thanks Kileen. I called NI before you replied and they said the same thing. That does indeed work. Really do appreciate your help.
