I assume you're referring to the semicolon, as referenced in my message, not the colon. When I attempt to use a semicolon as a command separator, I get the following: C:\>cd ibm ; echo hi The system cannot find the path specified. But when I use an ampersand, it works as expected: C:\>cd ibm & echo hi hi Tim Snyder IBM Data Management Solutions Consulting I/T Specialist , U2 Professional Services [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
RE: [UDT] Use of PCPERFORM and the PHANTOM command
Thanks to both Tim and Ken - I'll try these suggestions today. To all that I confused with the mixed syntax - this project is for both Windows and *nix systems (AIX, SCO, Linux, etc, etc) and I have to make it work reliably on any type of platform that UDT is supported on. So I mixed the syntax (sort of) deliberately to infer that. Sorry if I caused any confusion. Dave Graham Storis Management Systems, Inc.

RE: [UDT] Use of PCPERFORM and the PHANTOM command
FYI, colon works fine in winders ... it's the standard command-line command separator ... Don't forget - a lot of windows was copied from nix - the only reason the '/' wasn't copied (and in a way it was, it tends to work) is that DOS was designed to be compatible with CP/M - and '/' was legal in a CP/M file name.
