Shouldn't ErrorLevel Show Up In Environment Variables

[CityguyUSA]

Shouldn't ErrorLevel show up In Environment Variables or somewhere? I don't see it anywhere. I can add it to Watch but I would think it should be there.

CMDebug 36.50.59

Look at the lower-left of the BDEBUGGER window,
in the Watch tab.

ERRORLEVEL is not an environment variable, it's an internal variable (in both CMD and TCC).

ERRORLEVEL is not an environment variable, it's an internal variable (in both CMD and TCC).

So you shouldn't see it?

 

[rconn]

So you shouldn't see it?

That's correct. There are several hundred internal variables in TCC; if they were all displayed you wouldn't have room to see anything else.

The watch list by default shows the ? variable (same as ERRORLEVEL) and _? (error return for internal TCC commands).

If you're interested in specific internal variables, you can add them to the watch list.

I'm intereseted in 1 that's pretty standard fare for Batch Scripts.

Well, it can't be in the Environment pane, because it's not an environment variable.

And it's already in the Watch pane.

So where do you want it to be?

 

[CityguyUSA]

It's not in any pane. I don't know what you're talking about.

 

[rconn]

It's not in any pane. I don't know what you're talking about.

The "?" in the Watch pane (the %? variable) is the same thing as ERRORLEVEL.

 

[CityguyUSA]

It doesn't show up in my debugger.

 

[rconn]

It doesn't show up in my debugger.

The ? and _? internal variables are always the first two entries in the watch list (unless you've deleted them), as shown in Joe's screenshot above.

 

[CityguyUSA]

I loaded my script after I deleted the *.bp and the *.watch. There's nothing in any of the tabs but environment. I loaded 2 other scripts and the same thing except they both exposed cmdline and cmdline_2.

 

[rconn]

Click on the debugger OPTIONS menu - if you have "CMD Syntax" checked, then you won't get the ? or _? variables, because they're TCC-only.

 

[CityguyUSA]

Yeah, that would be it because I'm only using CMD.
