passing parameters to sub-projects and environment variables

[daveronson]

I have a master visual build project that calls a number of sub visual build projects using the VisBuildPro Project action. 7 project level (with env. variable checked) macros are passed as parameters each time to the sub projects. The sub projects call out to some batch files using the "Run Program" action in a subroutine. The batch files use the macros to do various things.

Everything works fine in the VisBuildPro GUI app but when trying to build using the VisBuildCmd app the macros are unavailable to the batch files in the sub-projects.

I have read through the help and other posts and I have found a a few workarounds/solutions to my problem. None are as simple as I'd like. I'm curious as to whether this is expected behaviour of the VisBuildCmd app?
