Issues with spaces in output directory name?

[dbrannick]

I have a procedure that I'm trying to run and I'm getting an error:
This is the output of the script I'm running. It appears that there is an issue with a space in the directory name or a length issue?
Please advise.
thank you

If I run this script within my current directory (that has no spaces), it works successfully.

I found the error. I had a space after the output-do: - I guess BC didn't like that.

Correct. And thanks for posting your solution.

BC Script considers whitespace and line breaks as important when defining script syntax. A space in the wrong place can cause errors such as you encountered.
