When executing this command, don't forget to redirect the STDERR to STDIO,
else you won't be able to figure out the reason why command has failed, so i
will suggest following
my $result = `CTMORDER -SCHEDTAB EM-$ENV-REPORT-LOGS -JOBNAME
EM-$ENV-$Client_Key-AAL-EMAIL -ODATE ODAT -FORCE Y 2>&1`;

so result will hold any output message or error message and to know the
status of the command just echo "$?"
