The Run Command Line Program on File step utilizes a file as an input and is used to execute a batch file within a Flow, similar to the Run Command step. Though the step requires a file as an input, the step does not require the file to be utilized by any commands within the batch file. The full file path to the batch file will need to be entered into the Command input.
