program "hangs up"

I have an output program which is not working properly.

At @once the program reads into an array all of the pdf files in the directory web_files. When all of the files are read in, the @once section should end.

The file name is in the format nnnn_yyyymmdd.pdf

The main portion of the program checks to see if there is a directory for the nnnn portion of the file name and if not makes the directory.  If it exists, the file is copied to a directory TODAY and then moved into the correct NNNN directory.

Here is my problem:
1. Program starts and then stops without at the first program line of @once
2. If run with the debugger, as lone an enter is pressed the program lines in @once execute.
3. When the program hits the END of the @once processing, the program stops.

Batch file command line
%pfprog%\fp\dreport library -f move_pdf -y !! -s one -u

The array dim getfiles(5000)(20,*).

I adjusted the array to 900 elements as I thought this might be the problem.  It isn't.

Yes, I could rewrite the program to post the files one at a time rather than reading them into an array.  

But that doesn't answer the question of why the program stops before executing any code in @once unless the debugger is on.
