You need to escape the backslashes with another backslash (just like using a backslash to escape double quotes and the like): system("c:\\new\\ram.bat");

system(c:\\new\\ram.bat);

You need to send system() a string. Put c:\\new\\ram.bat in double-quotes.

Then
1) the batch file is not in the directory specified
2) the system call is not being executed
3) the batch file is being executed and give no feedback
4) the program is not working fine

Maybe more details are necessary.

Here is a tutorial on system. Maybe this will help you debug the issue.
