FYI, colon works fine in winders ... it's the standard command-line command separator ...
Don't forget - a lot of windows was copied from nix - the only reason the '/' wasn't copied (and in a way it was, it tends to work) is that DOS was designed to be compatible with CP/M - and '/' was legal in a CP/M file name.

Actually, if you change into the directory and type "udt PHANTOM ProgramName" from the DOS prompt, you'll see the same thing. It's not an issue with PCPERFORM. Also, I'm a bit confused by the command itself. The backslashes indicate you're in Windows, but the command separator of a semicolon indicates UNIX. Try replacing your command with the following: PCPERFORM "cd \folder\folder\U2Account & echo PHANTOM ProgramName | udt" for windows or PCPERFORM "cd /folder/folder/U2Account ; echo PHANTOM ProgramName | udt" for UNIX.
