2021-10-25T12:55:20.353+00:00 One more comment against my logic as mention above regarding data and time.
I have Windows Server 2003 Machine and its same script is successfully running and creating output at AM and below is the schedule.

Before 10 AM you will have single digits in the hour. You end up with a space in the file name and the program will see 852.dmp and 852.log as separate command line switches.
