I have a bat file I run every morning that executes several Oracle stored procedures and does 3 SQLLOADs into 3 different tables. On my new Windows 2000 machine, everytime I hit an SQLLOAD command, my bat file never gets control back after the SQLLOAD, although the SQLLOAD works fine. When I run the bat file on my old 98 machine, it works fine. Has anyone seen this? Do you think it's a 8.1.5/2000 incompatibility issue? Should I try 8.1.7? Thanks.
