Separate two command in "After Job Subroutine"

Hi

just a little and stupid question. I have to execute two subsequent DOS command in the "After Job subroutine".

Does anybody remember the character to use to separate the MsDos command? I remeber ";" but it doesn't work.

Thank you in advance

Umberto

P.S. I don't know if it is important but the version of the OS is windows 2003 Server in English language (US)

I just tried one of the solution suggested by Ray. I used semicolon to separate the commands but it doesn't work.

How can I do that? I would avoid the script.....

Did you try && ?

Consider using an After-Stage subroutine call also. Maybe on the last link writing to the last Passive stage. Add a Transformer if necessary to do this. You do have After-Stage subroutine calls that are exactly the same as After-Job subroutine calls. Put one command in the stage, the other in the job after routine calls.

Use &&. It works perferctly. I have used it before. The second command executes only if first command is executed successfully.

Semi-colon should work. It's the fundamental command separator in every UNIX shell of which I am aware. Please post your exact syntax.

Windows server, DOS commands.

Doesn't matter. The semi-colon is also the unconditional command separator in the DOS shell.

I know... only mentioned it because you said the 'U' word.
