In Windows SET commands, don't use the '%' sign on the left-hand side of
the '=' .

set ID=admin
set PASS=admin
set OUTDIR=c:\temp\tsmout
dsmadmc -id=%ID% -pa=%PASS% -outfile=%OUTDIR%\test.txt "q db"

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.

        Subject:        Executing TSM commands via BAT file



I am trying to redirect my output to a specific folder
(c:\temp\tsmout) and my TSM command is putting the output
file into the c:\ folder.

Does anyone see what I am doing wrong?

set %ID=admin
set %PASS=admin
set %OUTDIR=c:\temp\tsmout
dsmadmc -id=%ID% -pa=%PASS% -outfile=%OUTDIR%\test.txt "q
db"

Output:
c:\tsm\baclient\test.bat
C:\tsm\baclient>dsmadmc -id=admin -pa=admin
-outfile=\test.txt "q db"

Thanks for your help.
