.bat file result not giving correctly in data services

Question

Hi ,
I am using .bat file to count the number of files in the folder. I want to capture the value of the number of files.
I have written small .bat file as shown below
@echo off
setlocal enableextensions
CD %1
set cnt=0
for %%A in (*) do set /a cnt+=1
echo File count = %cnt%
endlocal
I have used this batch  file in the script as shown below.
$COUNT =exec('D:\\test.bat', 'D:\\docs',8);
print($COUNT);
In the above $COUNT is varchar(255).
actually i have only 11 file sin the docs folder . But it is giving the 442 files.
If I run the same batch file in the windows cmd command I am getting the correct result.
Please let me know what will be issues?
I am unable figure out the issues for weird result when I am using DS.
Please help me in this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Ramana.

Hi,
While executing the batch file it is taking the Data services installation directory path as shown below.
14504    6420    PRINTFN    3/30/2015 9:40:10 AM    0: C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Data Services\bin  File count = 442
I have changed the the batch file with two parameters. one for changing directory and another one for changing the folder.
Now my batch file looks like this.
@echo off
setlocal enableextensions
%1:
CD %2
echo %CD%
set cnt=0
for %%A in (*) do set /a cnt+=1
echo File count = %cnt%
endlocal
Then my script is like this .
$COUNT =exec('D:\\test.bat', ' D D:\\docs',8);
print($COUNT);
Now it is giving the expected result as shown below.
14700    13912    PRINTFN    3/30/2015 9:52:18 AM    0: D:\Docs  File count = 11
Thanks & Regards,
