if you write the bat file in notepad, first make sure that you save as type 'all files' otherwise it will save it as pdrun.bat.txt, which won't work as a batch file.

it was a similar problem: I had created the .bat file with wordpad that evidently (I imagine) put some hidden elements in order to format the text that cause the escape from the dos prorompt.

With the notepad all has gone OK.
