I am in current directory have 2 files. One is a "abc.txt" file and one is "dt2.bat"

type abc.txt = TEST2

And type the command line below and work fine.
for /f %i in (abc.txt) do sendevent -E SET_GLOBAL -G "DTRAN=%i"

autorep -G DTRAN

Global Name Value
Last Changed
DTRAN TEST2 01/11/2013 10:09:09


Now I create a batch file called: dt2.bat just like simple command on top. But run the dt2.bat not work. Keep SAY "The syntax of the command is incorrect." Please help what's wrong with this? Thanks

C:\PROGRAM Files (x86)\CA\Workload Automation AE\batch>dt2.bat

@echo off
for /f %i in (abc.txt) do sendevent -E SET_GLOBAL -G "DTRAN=%i"FOR %i in (bla bla bla) do echo %i (command line)
FOR %%i in (bla bla bla) do echo %%i (batch script)
