tabcmd export Returns No Error Code When Workbook or View Name Contains Space as Parameter
Published: 01 Mar 2017 Last Modified Date: 15 Jan 2018
Issue
When the workbook or the View name is set with space as the parameter for tabcmd, then the error code is not returned.
Tabcmd mentions that the workbook or the view name includes the space as the invalid name, but this is returned as the informative message, not returned as the error in tabcmd.
As the result of this message categorization, "ERRORLEVEL" returns 0 as the successful result.
