Batch Files Stop Executing with Windows 2000

[Jason Barona]

I have a batch file that works just fine on NT 4.0. We are
changing to Windows 2000 and the Batch file stops
executing when running on Windows 2000. I ahve included a
copy of the bat file.

@echo off
rem DISCONNECT.BAT 04/01/2003
rem Used to issue DataRec disconnects into CRM

rem Start-up WinRunner and get into CRM
c:
cd \
rem "C:\Program Files\Mercury
Interactive\WinRunner\arch\wrun.exe" -t "H:\DSG WinRunner
Scripts\open crm" -animate

:main
rem Get the next TN to 'disconnect' from the deny database

rem erase "c:\program files\mercury
interactive\winrunner\tmp\test_AutoDisc092002_1\script"
rem copy c:\script "c:\program files\mercury
interactive\winrunner\tmp\test_AutoDisc092002_1\script"

erase disconnect.txt
rsh 96.130.58.10 -l otto next_dis %1 > disconnect.txt
erase "c:\program files\mercury
interactive\winrunner\tmp\test_AutoDisc092002_1
\disconnect.txt"
copy c:\disconnect.txt "c:\program files\mercury
interactive\winrunner\tmp\test_AutoDisc092002_1
\disconnect.txt"

rem Run the WinRunner script to add the disconnect note
and (if Active Service rem state) proceed through CRM
scripting to issue the disconnect
rem"c:\Program Files\Mercury
Interactive\WinRunner\arch\wrun.exe" -t "H:\DSG WinRunner
Scripts\test_AutoDisc092002_1" -animate

rem pause
goto main

Help would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks.

What do you mean? It never starts to run? It stops at a specific spot?
You get an error?

Your double quotes (") are all over the place. They must surround
your file names, and they must always be paired.

Example: You write
Interactive\WinRunner\arch\wrun.exe" -t "H:\DSG WinRunner Scripts\open
crm" -animate

It should probably be:
"Interactive\WinRunner\arch\wrun.exe" -t "H:\DSG WinRunner
Scripts\open.crm" -animate

Note the full stop before "crm".

Hi Jason,
we've got the same problem. Have you got it fixed? If yes, how?
Thanks a lot for your help.

PS: Our batch goes further after pressing Enter... We also use rsh in
this batch file..
