I think it only happens in a batch file. It is very hard to reproduce. It only happens sometimes. Mostly, it seems to happen only after a write to the filesystem or a TEMP environment variable change or after lots of pipes + sets. It is very odd. Almost, like there is a buffer somewhere in the shell that takes a little while to update. It will happen with or without a caching. (LBACACHE) Mostly, it is just frustrating when doing lots of logic in a batch file.

Maybe at some point, just to see if set /E has the same issue, I will swap out some of the /P stuff for /E and pull the “Workaround” failsafe checks out. > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance > APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month > Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now > Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
