I've created a batch file that reads from a parameter file and logs on to the
remote site and does its thing. how can i create a log file ? if i put the
'>' symbol on the command line it 's looking there for the logon paramterrs
instead of the parameter file.

Try the other one "<" in scripts (both dos and unix/linux) the ">" means
output to "stdout" and "<" mean input from "stdin". An easy way to remember
it which ever way the little "pointer" is pointing is the direction the data
is flowing - in "<" or out ">".

spool file.
