MaxL - "on error write to" not working

Question

I am running this script on Unix:
set datafile=$FilesRoot/load/ActBalDataLoad$LoadMonth.txt;
import database "'$EssApp'"."'$EssDb'" data
from local data_file "'$datafile'"
on error write to 'ActBalDataLoad.Err' ;
I am getting this result:
MAXL> import database "'MyApp'"."MyDb'" data
2> from local data_file "'/home/fbarnes/My_Files/load/ActBalDataLoadAPR.txt'"
3> on error write to 'ActBalDataLoad.Err' ;
OK/INFO - 1003040 - Parallel dataload enabled: [1] block prepare threads, [1] block write threads..
ERROR - 1003014 - Unknown Member [AC.xyz] in Data Load, [119] Records Completed.
ERROR - 1241101 - Unexpected Essbase error 1003014.
Any ideas why it is not creating the error file? I want to capture all errors in one run, rather than get the errors one at a time as it is doing now.
Thank you.

Hello,
I am also having this issue.
I will include my script below but will state some details before
We are on Essbase 11.1.1.3
I am running Admin Console from my client PC that connects to the server in the script and I read that in this set up the error file will not get written to. This documentation was for v 9.1.3
Here is my script (i changed some of the names)
login 'user' 'password' on server';
create application 'Money1' as 'Money2';
spool stderr on to 'errorfile';
import database 'Money1'.'Main' data
from local text data_file 'Money1_Data.txt'
using server rules_file 'Data3';
on error append to 'dataload.err';
execute calculation 'CALC ALL;' on 'Money1'.'Main';
logout;
spool off;
exit;
here is the error output i get:
code line: on error append to 'dataload.err';
Statement executed with warnings.
(3) Syntax error near ['$']
I don't see a dollar sign anywhere in my code and the error file does not get produced.
Also do error files get written too if the actins are executed in the background?
Thanks!
Alex
