I am trying to run the following simple batch file: [I am using the pauses just to step through the file]

c:

cd\

pause

cd dxr

cd program

pause

dir

pause

C:\DXR\PROGRAM\Dxr32 /si /pn1-5000 /pfc:\temp\Test-5.pdf

C:\DXR\PROGRAM\Dxr32 /si /pn10001-15000 /pfc:\temp\Test-6.pdf

pause


This operation is calling a program of ours that is CREATING PDF's in 5000 page segments. HOWEVER I can not get the second segment created because I need to wait until the first operation has completed.

I KNOW that this is a simple batch file and I have been able to successfully create the 2 PDF files by placing a 'Pause' between the two operation. Doing this does require interaction with a person and I am wanting the ability to run this unattended.

I have tried placing 'start /wait' at the beginning of the line but it did not help

Thanks in advance for your time........
