I'm trying to setup a SQL Server agent job of type CmdExec for running an executable inside %programdata%\my company folder.

If I use %programdata%\my company\myexec.exe, the job fails with error:

it can't find the file.

But it works with the absolute path as follows:

C:\ProgramData\my company\myexec.exe

Anybody knows a way to run the job successfully using the special folder alias?

But it works with the absolute path:

C:\ProgramData\my company\myexec.exe

How can I run the job successfully using the special folder alias?
