Hi Richard,

I could find the error in my script. It is a vendor delivered script and one 
of the command is to change the directory. I am running the sqr on say 
server A, .dat file is on remote server, say B and the directory to which 
the script is cd to is on remote server like, b:\download-all. I am getting 
an error when I run the command from command prompt that:

The system cannot find the path specified.
"downloads-all" directory cannot be found from the current directory.

Is there a way to actually change the directory?

Many thanks for your help,
Anu
