Hi Harro,

Two possibilities come to mind.

1. Is your IDL session in Demo mode? If so, then Spawning
commands is probably a no-no.

2. Under VMS at least, if you fill up your disk
quota, Spawn jobs may fail, as they open a temporary file.

You don't say what OS you're using, or exactly what you're
trying to Spawn, so I'm fishing in the dark for answers... ;-)

Gruess,

Andrew
