Never mind. The error was related to another problem with the script. Thanks! Ron

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!
