One of our programmers is trying to create a batch job that as the last
step will open a Telnet session to a NT machine.  Once this telnet
session is open the NT machine will start doing a related process.  The
problem is that we are not able to get telnet to work properly in a
batch job.   We are either getting the following message..

 :TELNET 'xxxxxxxxxxxx.WFU.EDU xxxx'
 Sorry, this program cannot be run from a job.
 :EOJ

If we change the line to

::TELNET xxxxxxxxxx.WFU.EDU xxxx

then the telnet session executes first....before the FTP commands at the
beginning of the batch job.

We tried moving the telnet commands to a different batch job and having
the first batch job stream the second batch job but it again executed
the telnet
command first.

I know there has got to be a simple answer to this but right now it is
escaping me.

TIA,

Ted
