Problem

Symptoms: The customer cannot execute a batch file that uses CONVERT.EXE to convert an ASCII delimited file to a secondary merge file. Solutions: The customer used the syntax: [Input filename] [Output filename] Y 9 ; {13}{10} {34} which will work at the DOS command line. In a batch file, however, the semicolon was being ignored, thrown away, or captured. This caused the batch file to not work correctly. The customer used {59} in place of the semicolon, which is the decimal equivalent, and the batch file worked correctly.
