I've tried replacing > the % with %% to no avail. It looks like a problem with "CALL", not with Analog. I can only reproduce your problem when I put a line like yours in a batch file (with %% rather than %, of course). If I call a batchfile instead of analog.exe, and have the batchfile echo the parameters passed, I see the bare "M" test.bat: call analog.bat test.log +O"%%Y%%M.html" analog.bt: echo %* this is the output: C:\Analog>test C:\Analog>call analog.bat test.log +O"%Y%M.html" C:\Analog>echo test.log +O"M.html" test.log +O"M.html" It looks like CALL is converting %Y%M to M. But I'm not sure why you're using CALL - it's for calling batchfiles, and shouldn't be needed for an executable.
