Error when running the cl6x >> ERROR: cannot run acp6x - invalid argument mode

Hi,

While trying to set my vector cast environment to do structural coverage. I'm finding that  cl6x cannot be called directly, even though the path is set. That  is, I need to prepend the complete tool path to the cl6x compiler command to get it to work look below. Is there a way to get around this, some system environment setting, or an option ?

( Here is an easy example)

C:\VCAST\Environments\main>path
PATH=C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath;C:\Program Files (x86)\Serena\vm\win32\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\Serena\vm\commo
2;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Microsoft Online Services;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft S
osoft Online Services;C:\windows\system32;C:\windows;C:\windows\System32\Wbem;C:\windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;

THIS WAY IT DOES NOT WORKS
