Trying to run a copy / rename command from Windows NT Scheduled T ask

["Gentry, Andrew (SAIC)" <genta2@BP.COM>]

Hi,

I am trying to run a simple piece of SQR which basically takes a file copies
it to a different directory and renames it with a current date extension.

I have written the code and I can run it successfully either directly in
Brio Report Builder or if I compile it and run it from an icon which runs a
cmd file which uses SQRWT.

The problem I have is when I try to run the same cmd file which I use via
the icon from the windows 2000 scheduler. It runs the code, but every time I
try to use call system to go off and run 'copy' or 'rename' it never seems
to do it and then carries on with the rest of the code. I realise it is
probably starting up another window / session and then loses control.

I have tried different combinations like
let $command_string = 'C:\WINNT\system32\CMD /c  ' || 'xcopy ' || $NEW_AP_FN
|| ' ' || $FP || '\history' || ' > ' || $acopyaplog
call system using $command_string #status wait

let $command_string = 'C:\WINNT\system32\CMD /c ' || 'ren ' || $FP ||
'\history\apfile' || ' ' || $fname3 || ' >> ' || $acopyaplog
call system using $command_string6 #status wait

where I have defined the variable names earlier in the program and have also
tried adding start /wait commands after the cmd /c part, but none of these
seem to work when using the scheduler.

Can anyone help ?

Many thanks,

Andy.
