Use UNC in .bat file?

[Guest]

I have a simple .bat file which runs well if I hard code a drive letter.
However I would like to know if there is a way to specify a full UNC?
This is how it is now (it runs, and accomplishes what it needs to):

@echo off
u:
cd edi\ediformatter\telecom\
CALL FWEDI.EXE FWEDI.SRC FWEDI.DST MSBIN

I would like to do something like the following (which doen't work)

@echo off
\\Server_name\Share_name\edi\ediformatter\telecom\
CALL FWEDI.EXE FWEDI.SRC FWEDI.DST MSBIN

Thank you in advance,
God bless you
Andy

Try:

CALL "\\Server_name\Share_name\edi\ediformatter\telecom\FWEDI.EXE FWEDI.SRC FWEDI.DST MSBIN"

Remember the quotes.

What happens if you;
@echo off

\\Server_name\Share_name\edi\ediformatter\telecom\FWEDI.EXE FWEDI.SRC
FWEDI.DST MSBIN

all on one line.
