Hi Blat Group,

below.

This happens because you used quotation marks inside your environment
variables rather than on the outside of your environment variables.

For example:
set msg="This is a message line with quotation marks."

The above line should actually have been this:
set "msg=This is a message line with quotation marks."

Having the quotation marks around the whole environment variable and data
allows the Windows command parser to pass the environment variable to Blat
without the embedded quotation marks. Blat would then see the "Severity..."
as one value.
