I have always ran DS job from a Unix Shell Script, I have just written a job on Windows and having some problem creating a Batch file with which to run the sequence job. Does anyone have template for running DS jobs via a DOS batch file

If you are having DS Server on Windows you should have no problem running batch file using dsjob command.

I suspect that the problem is not with dsjob itself - which has exactly the same syntax - but with all the other things you can do with a UNIX shell script. BAT files are much more limited.
If you have MKS toolkit or cygwin or one of the other UNIX-on-Windows tools, you can continue to use shell scripts. Might be a better solution! If you're running 7.5x2 you do have MKS Toolkit. Since you posted on the parallel forum this would have been a reasonable assumption, except that you designated the job type as server.

Hi Ray,
Can Parallel jobs (DS 7.51a/7.5 -- not 7.5x2) be run on Windows using some MKS toolkit or cygwin or one of the other UNIX-on-Windows tools?
If yes, what is the best tool and how do I configure DS to work with that tool?

No.
They don't supply DS for MKS or Cygwin.

Hi,
You can download from ADN the bat export file and learn how to run dsjob on windows.
I admit you'll need to study the file but all you need is there.
IHTH,
