I found out what was happening a bad character got into the editor input causing the error
|spelling error | sqlfrdtsx@read&.> <;._2 shell 'dir /s /b ',(dbquote tslash y),'*.dtsx' After removing the bad character the JHS editor worked as expected. I am not sure how the character snuck in. Maybe from the browser clip board. Thanks On Thu, Apr 30, 2015 at 9:35 AM, Eric Iverson <eric.b.iver...@gmail.com> wrote: > I am confused by your problem report.
