I have a sqlcmd script, it runs fine if I open the command line to run it.
sqlcmd -S (local) -d mydb -E -s, -W -i D:\_ssisfiles\scripts\ProductMap.sql | findstr /V /C:"-" /B > D:\_SSISFiles\Scripts\xtest.csv
But if I makes it to a sql agent job, the job failed and it got the following error:
Sqlcmd: Error: Error occurred while opening or operating on file | (Reason: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect). Process Exit Code 1. The step failed.
Anything I am missing?
The sql agent service account has full control of the file directory.
Thanks

Well login to the server with the service account and see if it can access D:\_SSISFiles\Scripts

Could be the underscore in the directory name - Try enclosing the paths in double quotes.

It looks like it's obecting to the pipe symbol ( | ) in that command line.
You may have to do it in more than 1 step ie. redirect the output from SQLCMD to a file then do the findstr on that file (perhaps?).

Along with the other suggestions, sometimes putting the logic in a .bat or .cmd and calling that file in the job step will help.
