Why do I sometimes get different results when executing menu options from a batch file and a command line?
A. There are two main reasons for this. One is the obvious. The typed command line may be different than the menu item batch. The differences may not be in the script but in the environment that is being set by fpconfig. The other reason is because of special characters used in filenames and flags. It is a good idea never to use ~!@#$%^&*() and so forth in filenames or the names of prc. and out. tables. These characters can be passed differently depending on the operating system.
