Sorry, this is what I am trying to run. But again, it barfs on the 'program files' portion of the script. I have tried with and without quotes.
set heading off; set feedback off; set linesize 1000; spool e:\BACKUP\llbot1\scripts\ARC_PLUS2.sql; select 'spool e:\BACKUP\llbot1\HOT\log\ARC_BACKUP.LOG2;' from dual; select 'alter system switch logfile;' from dual; select 'alter system switch logfile;' from dual; select 'alter system switch logfile;' from dual; select 'alter system archive log stop;' from dual; select 'host c:\program files\resource kit\robocopy f:\oracle\oradata\llbot1\archive\ e:\BACKUP\llbot1\HOT\arch /Move;' from dual; select 'host mkdir f:\oracle\oradata\llbot1\archive;' from dual; select 'alter system archive log start;' from dual; select 'exit;' from dual; spool off; exit; Thanks!

Secondly, I think this will do what you want: select 'host "c:\program files\resource kit\robocopy"' from dual; as long as what you want is to execute the robocopy program from the SQL*Plus prompt. If you want to do something else, clarify your intentions on the list. Stephen >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 10/08/03 04:34PM >>> I am trying to issue the following command in SQL*PLUS but it doesn't like the space between 'program' and 'files'. Can anyone tell me how to get around this? echo select 'host c:\program files\resource kit\robocopy;' from dual; Thanks!
