I am calling a batch file from WTX 8.4 map and need to pass a command line argument to this .bat file. I am trying below code but its not working:

=PUT("BAT","-CMD demo.bat -I -T", InputFile)

This demo.bat consist of below command:

copy %1 output.txt

Hello:

Can you try:  =GET("BAT","demo.bat  output1.txt -T")

Using your demo.bat content, this will copy output1.txt to output.txt

or if you want to make the input more dynamic with regards to the file being copied try:

=GET("BAT","demo.bat " + InputFile + " -T")

Where InputFile is obtained from an input card.

Thanks Tim! Unfortunately both the options are not working :(. I even changed the .bat file to check if it is receiving the argument passed in wtx map as below:

set a=%1
echo %a%

But in log file this is displayed:

set a=

echo

ECHO is on.

Hello:

When you ran your map, what did the trace file content say for the Executing Command entry?  When I run my map, it says:

Executing Command: "C:\testmaps\batchadapter\EvalMathematicalExpression\demo.bat" output1.txt

This was from a map rule of: =GET("BAT","demo.bat " + InputFile + " -T")

The InputFile content that I have contains output1.txt and you can see it was correctly substituted.

Thank you so much Tim! I messed the Input file content and that's why it was not working. Your solution is working perfectly fine! Thanks once again...
