I have a dts file located at C:\MyJobs\calcPctRpt.DTS

When i use DTSRUN c:\MyJobs\calcPctRpt.DTS

via Batch program, i am getting an error saying file not found.

What is the right way to call a dts file thru a batch (.bat)

Thank you very much for the helpful info.

Here is a procedure you can use - not very secure because the password is hardcoded
Once created you can create a SQL job to run a legacy DTS.

CREATE procedure [dbo].[s_RunDTS] @DTSName as varchar (250)
AS
DECLARE @cmd as varchar (1000)
SELECT @cmd = 'dtsrun /S "(local)" /U myUser /P myPassword /N "' + @DTSName + '"'

EXEC master..xp_cmdshell @cmd
