echo $JS_LOG_DIR

--This is where the problem surfaces. The last line of this script does a rsh to an NT machine and one of the parameters is the variable $LOG_FILE_NM. I am attempting to pass an NT folder name to my NT job. However getting the backslash to work at the end of the variable JS_LOG_DIR is not easy! If I put a space after the backslash, it works - but I don't want a space after it.

LOG_FILE_NM="${JS_LOG_DIR}\${FILE_PREFIX}JS_FACT_INVOICE_BALANCES.log"
echo $LOG_FILE_NM

Here's the results:

20030416_1633_
E:\DecisionStream Jobs\Invoice Balance Fact Jobs
E:\DecisionStream Jobs\Invoice Balance Fact Jobs${FILE_PREFIX}JS_FACT_INVOICE_BALANCES.log


I need for this to look like:
E:\DecisionStream Jobs\Invoice Balance Fact Jobs\20030416_1633_JS_FACT_INVOICE_BALANCES.log
