PROS29012023: Using SYSLEVEL in Batch File Can Hang System PSS ID Number: Q64748 Article last modified on 07-01-1991 PSS database name: O_Os2SDK

1.21

OS/2

Summary:

PROBLEM ID: OS29012023

SYMPTOMS If SYSLEVEL is used in a batch file in conjunction with the GOTO command, and the batch file is then run in an OS/2 window, the keyboard will hang if CloseAll or Shutdown is run from the Desktop Manager. The keyboard interrupts for the SCROLL LOCK and CTRL+ALT+DEL keys remain functional.

RESOLUTION It is possible to workaround this problem by using the mouse; otherwise, the system must be rebooted.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in OS/2 version 1.21. This problem was corrected in OS/2 version 1.3.
