[sqr-users] Call System to execute.bat file

["R. Neal Patterson" <rnpatter@colby.edu>]

I'm interested in using CALL SYSTEM to run a .bat file from SQR.

I was able to make the following work based on the the coding 
suggested earlier by K.M.Narayanan:

LET $COMMAND = 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c DIR *.* > MyDirResults.txt'
CALL SYSTEM USING $COMMAND  #call_status wait

However, the #call_status returns value 1 when I try the following 
(and the commands within MyBatFile.bat are not executed):

LET $COMMAND = 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c MyBatFile.bat'
CALL SYSTEM USING $COMMAND  #call_status wait

How can I get the above to work?  Where can I find a list of the 
status code values and their meanings?

Thanks,
-Neal
