- SUBJECT : Batch File Using Nul Operator
- DATE : 5/24/90
- FYI # : 052490cw
- OS VERSION : All
- REVISION : All
- SHELL VERSION : 2.15C
-
- PROBLEM : The following batch file example will not execute more than five
- or six times before getting "File creation error." using DOS 3.3. The batch
- file name is TEST.BAT
-
- @echo off
- set > nul
- dir > nul
- ver > nul
- TEST
-
- Apparently the shell doesn't handle the nul operator correctly. It will
- execute once or twice in a row but if you run the batch file recursively
- it gets the error mentioned above.
-
- SOLUTION : Use the v3.01 shell. This shell runs the batch file and
- correctly handles the nul operator without getting an error.
