Re: [Handle-info] Blank Line In Batch File

["Masud (Simon) Idris" <sidris@cnri.reston.va.us>]

Hi Sharif,

Thanks for sending me a copy of the batch file and the corresponding 
error log. This has nothing to do with file format or different 
operating systems. There is a space in each blank line (line 3, 7, 11, 
15, etc). The space character is throwing off the batch program, it 
expects to find more handle values after the space, but finds nothing 
else on that line. That is why the log shows a failure message at each 
blank line. Just go through the file, remove the spaces at each line 
where the log says there was an error, and try it again.

Thanks,
Masud Idris,
CNRI
