Here is the situation. We have a Windows 2003 Server hosted in VMWare. It has been upgraded from Windows NT 4. There are several processes that are run from batch files that call CA-Realia COBOL executables. The problem is that these executables generate Event_ID 1000 error when the batch files are called from a command prompt. However, if called from a scheduled task, they run to completion without errors. If I type the individual commands from the batch files, the executables run without errors. What is really puzzling is that another server that is supposedly identical in setup that went through the same upgrade process does not have the problem, and I cannot find what the difference is. I checked security on the batch files and executables involved and they have full permissions. Any insight into the situation would be appreciated.
