RUNRMTCMD and string parameters.

["Mike Pantzopoulos - \(H/O\)" <mpantzopoulos@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am having a major problem with the RUNRMTCMD CMD parameter in regard
to the use of quotes with a path name which contains an embedded blank.

In essence, I want to run a vbscript program which accepts two
parameters. One is a 5 digit number, and the other is a string.
The vbscript program is in a folder which contains a blank in the path
name. 
Here is the CMD value:

RUNRMTCMD CMD('Start "C:\TEMP\Change Control\createActionDoc.vbs" 77778
"A very long description"') RMTLOCNAME('192.168.1.127' *IP)
RMTUSER(*NONE)    

77778 is a parameter to createActionDoc, as is A Very Long Description

When I issue this I get a message box with 77778 in the title and a
message saying  that Windows Cannot Find 7778. I presume this means that
windows thinks that 77778 is a program.

If I place the double quotes round the whole string after Start, I get a
new window, but nothing gets started:

RUNRMTCMD CMD('Start "C:\TEMP\Change Control\createActionDoc.vbs 77778
A
 very long description"') RMTLOCNAME('192.168.1.127' *IP) RMTUSER(*NONE)

If I remove the double quotes from the path and restrict it to the
parameter string, windows tells me it can't find C:\TEMP\Change.
This of course is the path to the first blank in the path name. 

  RUNRMTCMD CMD('Start C:\TEMP\Change Control\createActionDoc.vbs 77778
"A
  very long description"') RMTLOCNAME('192.168.1.127' *IP)
RMTUSER(*NONE)

I can always place an underscore in between Change & Control, but I'd
rather not. I'd like to get on top of what is happening under the
covers.

Thanks In Advance.
