Abaqus Fetch Syntax Error

Hello everyone,

I am currently working on attempting to extract deformed node coordinates from an .odb file. I've been bouncing around the forums and they all lead to the Abaqus Script User's Manual example 9.5.9. The script looks like what I need. However, I am having trouble with one of the lines of code. The problem is as follows:

Instead of using "abaqus fetch job=odbElementConnectivity" I obviously use "abaqus fetch job=myjob-name/myodbfile". The result I end up getting is a "SyntaxError: invalid syntax".

I can't seem to figure out what the problem is. I've tried using different work directories and have tried all sorts of maneuvering, so I'm beginning to think my flaw here is fundamental. Am I doing something wrong by inputting the commands straight to a command line of and empty cae file? How do I go about using this function?
