Try code like this;

TEXT TO lcOut
dbsvc -t Network -s Automatic -as -i -sn "SQL Anywhere - wamtest" -y -w "wamtest" 
"C:\Program Files\SQL Anywhere 11\Bin64\dbsrv11.exe" -x tcpip{port=2938}  -n 
wamtest d:\projects\neiman\wm\data\wam11_dev.db -n wam11_dev  
d:\projects\neiman\wm\data\consolidated\consolidated.db -n consolidated  
D:\Projects\realweb\data\realweb11.db
ENDTEXT

* Remove CRLF's
lcOut = STRTRAN(lcOut,CHR(10),"")
lcOut = STRTRAN(lcOut,CHR(13),"")

?STRTOFILE(lcOut,"test.bat")
