in your example you are doing the following
I have done a lot of mbatch qtp and quiz files with no problems
if seems you are calling a quiz routine inside a qtp routine
then means you would need 2 exits are the end
c:
> cd \foambin
> rem QTP auto=C:\FOAMbin\XFSPR20D < %PHTEMP%\FFSPARAM.dat
-- calling qtp at this point
> QTP
> execute C:\FOAMbin\XFSPR20D
> 02
> @
> @
> @
>
-- calling quiz at this point but have not exited the qtp process
> execute C:\FOAMbin\XFSPR20Z
this exits the quiz process that was started
> exit
-- you are calling a quiz routine while still withing the qtp call
> QUIZ auto=C:\FOAMbin\XFSZR20Z
-- your are now back to qtp routine
-- question why are you running XFSPR20Z twice?
let know if my thinking is correct
- you commented out the qtp auto that would have started qtp and shut it down after it ran
and now call qtp manually
thus you have to add an exit qtp
it looks like the batch stream is not correct
qtp auto...
quiz auto ...
or
qtp
execute ....
exit
quiz
execute ...
exit
or
qtp
execute .....
quiz
execute ....
exit
exit
