Running Batch files like .bat or .cmd ia nor possible on the IBMi. But, you can run then on the PC when the batchfile is available on the IFS (or a IBMi share). If you realy need to run it on the IBMi, then you need to use the QSHELL (QSH) environment (Qshell is a command environment based on POSIX and X/Open standards). So you can run linux commands on it. But if I look to your example script, IBMi doesn't have a C: not Z: disk.
