SYMPTOMS
When the CodeView debugger command line specifies the output redirection operator (>) and the user invokes an MS-DOS shell in CodeView, the output from any commands executed in the MS-DOS shell is included in the file created by the output redirection.



RESOLUTION
Command line output redirection works without problem if the user does not invoke an MS-DOS shell. If the user invokes an MS-DOS shell, operation occurs &quot;in the dark&quot; because application prompts and your responses do not appear on the screen. The redirection places this information in the output file.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in CodeView versions 4.0, 4.01, 4.05, and 4.1 for MS-DOS. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.



MORE INFORMATION
A redirection operator on the MS-DOS command line captures into a file all output to the standard output device (stdout). Output to the standard error device (stderr) is not affected.
