This has got to be simple.

I have a vbscript file that I can execute in a SQL
job with the TSQL command: xp_cmdshell 'CScript //nologo C:\......\scriptname.vbs'

and it works just fine. The "CScript" keeps the WScript.Echo command
from waiting for a response. It works marvellously.

But I don't want my code out in a file somewhere. I want it in the jobstep.
How do I do that?

I tried calling it ActiveX Script and checking Visual Basic radio button. I Run it and get errors.

Here is some simple code that I have been trying this with:

WScript.Echo "Today is " & Now


Here is the error I get:
Error Source= Microsoft VBScript runtime error
Error Description: Object required: 'WScript'
Error on Line 1. The step failed.


I know other people do this. Please help me out.
