Further to this fun little thing, I found that what worked from the command line didn't work from a batch file.

Finally, this did it:

isql cdmas:e:\dbdev\gcrc.gdb -U SYSDBA -P myPassword -a > c:\gcrc.ddl

(i.e. in a batch file, isql throws the toys out of the pram if you don't have the database before the options; and if you include the word 'output' it tries to create a file named 'utput'...)

Cheers,
H.
