One issue that I see is that you are not using the vpath for the file. Also " is not in use

I'm a solaris teamsite user, so it's not easy... but maybe 2 suggestions.

- use double quotes " instead of single quotes '
- drop the //server from the vpath

The above works well . '' -> it is 2 single quotes marks .This is required because the operation is on a folder not a file,and so its required to be blank.
the problem arises when -c 'sub' is added to the above.

I'm repeating myself...

what about

iwsubmit -w -u -c "global comment in double quotes" //servername/default/main/Portal/abc/WORKAREA/wa1/Form "file comment in double quotes"

I'm thinking windows does not like the single quotes. E.g. I can do

dir "c:\program files"

but not

dir 'c:\program files'

on my winxp workstation

That is correct - at least as far as command-line invokation is concerned.

When called from within a script (e.g. via Perl's qx()) it doesn't matter - but if run from the command line (and possibly via something like Perl's system() built-in, though I'm not sure) single-quotes are not treated the same as double-quotes.

One more reason to dislike Windows ;-)
