  Hi,

  I am trying to replace the commands of step2 with my new command in a sql server agent job by creating a script.

  I cannot see a script to new query window option for a step in sql server agent.

  Any help is really appreciated.

  Thanks,

  Deepthy

  I'm not clear on what you're trying to do.

  Why do you need a new window in order to put a T-SQL script into a job?

  This is how I update a job step command via scripting:

  EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_update_jobstep

  @job_name = N'Job Name',

  @step_id = 2,

  @command = N'new command' ;

  This is how I version a job step change in TFS and push the same change to all environments.
