Error Code Explanation Remedy

000:215 Bad pathlist specified Check the path the error references.
000:216 File not found Check the path the error references, particularly the filename.
000:218 Tried to create a file that already exists Use -fr with copy or dsave to overwrite old file, or ignore if current file is ok.
