Job not working in SQL server

Hi,
I have put a job with 3 steps.
But appear this message : "The job failed. The Job was
invoked by Schedule 15 (IMPORT_DBF_TO_SQL). The last step
to run was step 3 (IMPORT_DBF_TO_SQL)".
What I Can do to solve this problem'
ThanksYou need to see what Step 3 :- IMPORT_DBF_TO_SQL is trying to do.
I would imagine it executes a DTS Package, hopefully that DTS package was
designed to produce a Log output file. That Log file will give you the real
reason for the failure.

But its very strange, because i have in another SQL server
the same job and it's ok!!
the steps are:
1- DeleteCurrentData -- Transact-SQL Script
2- Convert DAT to DBF -- Transact-SQL Script
3- IMPORT_DBF_TO_SQL -- Operating System Command

Specify an output file for that jobstep and look at the messages in there. Hopefully this program
produces output from which you can determine what it wrong.

file for the jobstep. This is where all the messages from the command are written. After executing
the job, check this file.
