The combination of the characters %* seems to cause a compile problem as below:

@echo off
set a=test
echo %a%*
pause

The batch result is: test*

The compiled result is: testcmdln

Thanks, Rodger

Yes, this is a parser error. By default, %* combination reserved as "command line parameter", but should be skipped in this case.
Will be fixed soon.

I ran into the same problem when I was trying to do a *.* type of query with my .BATch file

I ended up using

SET q=*.*

and then could use it like

DIR %q%

or in your case maybe

SET q=*

and you could then do your code like this

@echo off
set a=test
echo %a%%q%
pause

Yes, your code can be used for current version of compiler as temporary solution.
