Scheduled Task Exit Code

I have created a scheduked task that runs a batch file once a day. When I
run the batch manually, it works perfectly. However, when I run it through
the task scheduler, I can not tell if it runs properly. Here is the entry in
the Task Scheduler log:

"WCFOR2008_SUBM_CALC_5.job" (WCFOR2008_SUBM_CALC.BAT)
Started 1/3/2008 11:30:00 PM
"WCFOR2008_SUBM_CALC_5.job" (WCFOR2008_SUBM_CALC.BAT)
Finished 1/3/2008 11:30:00 PM
Result: The task completed with an exit code of (801).

I have searched both the internet and this forum but can not find anything
that describes exit code 801. What I need to know is what that code means
and how to correct it. Any insight anyone can provide would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks! Rich

Hello Rich,

Exit codes can also depend on the job you are running. So can you post the
task itself?

What exactly do you have in the file
WCFOR2008_SUBM_CALC.BAT?
That's where the exit code comes from!

I run some code that executes some commands out of an application call Cognos
Finance. Here is the contents of the batch file:

"D:\Software\Client\Cognos 7.3\Cognos\ws\cer4\bin\lexwcmd.exe" /USER ryoung
/PSWD ****** /SYSTEM FOS /MODULE CALCSUB /SUBMISSION WCFOR2008 /SUBMISSION
WCFORLC2008 /NI


That's it. Not much in there.

Thanks again for your help!

Fine. Now add an extra line and modify this line like so:

echo %date% %time% User=%UserName% >>c:\test.log
"D:\Software\Client\Cognos 7.3\Cognos\ws\cer4\bin\lexwcmd.exe" /USER ryoung
/PSWD ****** /SYSTEM FOS /MODULE CALCSUB /SUBMISSION WCFOR2008 /SUBMISSION
WCFORLC2008 /NI 1>>c:\test.log 2>>&1

Run the task again under the Task Scheduler, then examin
c:\test.log. It will probably tell you what's wrong.
