Powershell script is executing but not working

I have a Powershell script which is running fine in Windows power shell IDE. But when I am running it from SQL agent job it is running with no error but it isn't doing any operation. Below is the message which I am getting in job history

     Executed as user: SERVER\SYSTEM. The string starting:  At line:1 
    char:1  +  <<<< "D:\FOLDER\POWERSCRIPT.ps1?  is missing the terminator: ". 
     At line:1 char:23  + "D:\FOLDER\POWERSCRIPT.ps1? <<<<      
     + CategoryInfo          : ParserError: (D:\FOLDER\POWERSCRIPT.ps1?:String) [],       ParentContainsErrorRecordException     
 + FullyQualifiedErrorId : 
TerminatorExpectedAtEndOfString.  Process Exit Code 0.  The step succeeded.

Though, I have ran it from service account which is "DOMAIN\SERVICEACCOUNT" but it showing me "SERVERNAME**SYSTEM**

Let me know if more details is required.

@command=N'powershell “D:\FOLDER\POWERSCRIPT.ps1″',

The quote marks here don't look right. You should remove them and re-type them as double-quote marks, like this:

@command=N'powershell "D:\FOLDER\POWERSCRIPT.ps1"',

Can you see the difference? This sometimes occurs when copying and pasting values.
