I'm trying to create a command file that outputs values to a file.  It works
in trace, but not from the command line.  I'm doing something wrong, but can
t figure out what.

What I get is this:

Monthly program case stats

02/01/2002  to  02/28/2002
=============================================

cases open 1st of the month =

number of new cases opened =

number of cases closed =

cases open end of the month =

number of youth receiving service =


In Trace the values appear. The code is attached (since my mail client can't
take cut/paste and produce plain text).

tia for any help.

Dave
