bakunin was telling you that the file "first.txt" was not a correctly formatted MSDOS text file because there was no line terminator on the record. Just edit the file with notepad and ensure that you press carriage-return at the end of the last record.
This fixes your Batch Program.

Just for interest it also fixes the more conventional way of achieving the same effect which is to use the "copy" command:
Code:
copy first.txt+first.txt out.txt

Error .bat script help
not being smart in .bat scripts. first.txt file is automatically generated by SQL. I need to copy these content to another file May be u can say i should append to another file (out.txt).
so i dont have any control over editing the file.
If you have this situation what best you could've done for this.

Thanks...

What I would do:

1) Create a text file with notepad containg only a blank line.
(Open the file in notepad and press the return key)
Code:
notepad cr.txt

2) Either correct the format of the original file (or a copy of that file) by appending the missing terminator.
Code:
type cr.txt >> first.txt

Or insert the missing terminator when we need it.
Code:
copy first.txt+cr.txt+first.txt+cr.txt out.txt

Or to parody the original post.
Code:
type first.txt >> out.txt
type cr.txt >> out.txt
type first.txt >> out.txt
type cr.txt >> out.txt

Code:
type first.txt >> out.txt
echo. >> out.txt
type first.txt >> out.txt
