HP SIM custom command batch file errors.

[JSBSMD]

I am running sim 5.1 on a win3k server and when I try to do an automated event action I am getting and error as follows:

batch file c:\sendopenviewmessage.cmd

"c:\Program Files\HP OpenView\bin\opcmsg.exe" o=catom-mcmopvw01 a=H1SIM s=normal msg_grp=Hardware msg_text="%NOTICELABEL% generated message %NOTICEPLAINTEXT%"

stderr ERROR message from SIM:

|| was unexpected at this time.


I have tried a simple batch file to test ie: echo test > test.txt and it works fine. The action show as ran and completed successfully. I'm sure it is some syntax problem.

just some more info. It seems like it doesn't like the " " after the msg_text.

if i just put msg_text=test it works fine.

Any ideas out there pls???
