I am trying to test a hot backup script I downloaded from one of the
Oracle sites.  Everything works great but there is one statement that
backs up the control file to a specific file.  I can't get the command
interpreter to handle it properly.  The script is generating a SQL
script which is then executed from within SQL*PLUS.  The command
contains a file name that must be enclosed in quotes.  I can't seem to
get the system to pass the quotes properly.

Can anyone help?

Sample code:  
set BKP_CONTROL="'d:\backup\PRACTICE\HOT\control\controlfile.ctl'"
echo  dbms_output.put_line(' alter database backup controlfile to
'^|^|%BKP_CONTROL%^|^|' REUSE '); >>%HFILE%

Thanks!
Ron Smith
