Well, I tried to use ampersands but they were added to each line of the batch script (batch script generation is to be automated) and the batch job was issued, but no processes were running whatsoever. Will removing the last ampersand change anything? Unfortunately I can't check your suggestions until tuesday sincce I'm out of office until then. Thanks nevertheless, I'll reply about results as soon as I manage to test them.
