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.
