Hi Del:

Even when I open a dos prompt and exter an explicit string it behaves the same 
way, e.g.
d:\win32app\ibm\adsm\baclient\agentsql\sqldsmc.exe
Version is 1.1.1
API version  3.1.5

Larry,

Check the shortcut...the window shouldn't be going away.
It should place you at a command prompt so you can
enter a CLC command.  What version are you running?

Also, did you download the new PTF IP21873 for the SQL Agent?
It is the lastest version. 1.1.2.

Oh, and did I mention...1.1.2 added support for MS SQL server
running in a cluster environment!

Have fun and happy holidays

Thanks,

Del
