Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, the "anyerror" variable could be selected to set the tcsh exit value behavior. However, "anyerror" is a shell variable and therefore was not propagated to subshells, and could not globally affect csh scripts. This update modifies the tcsh exit value behavior to the default behavior of csh: the new "tcsh_posix_status" variable is now available instead of "anyerror" to allow behavior similar to the POSIX standard.
