In that case, then you'd just pass the process number in the args list, and then your batch file could get it. For example, given this as the batch file:

@echo off
rem 
rem do_nothing.bat <SrcDir> <DstDir> <ProcID>
rem
echo Source Dir: '%1' >D:\MYTEMP\JOB.OUT
echo Dest Dir  : '%2' >>D:\MYTEMP\JOB.OUT
echo Process # : '%3' >>D:\MYTEMP\JOB.OUT

So if your job starts the batch file properly, then after it executes, you should find the file D:\MYTEMP\JOB.OUT containing the argument values you passed in. So is your difficulty on the DOS/Win batch file side or in starting the job?

That is exactly what I'm trying to do. The problem is that I have not hit upon the correct format for passing the arg value for the process number. Instead of the actual value I wind up passing what ever I had there, like $pnumber$.

Ah, well, then I won't be of any help. You'll have to find someone who knows something about whatever system it is that you're using.
