Jul 22, 2019 at 20:22 comment added iuvbio Same here, it's only because it wasn't marked that I ask. It does not complain when the variable is used in an assignment or conditional, but it does complain when it is an argument to a command, so I thought that might be a rule. It's also not mentioned in their wiki for SC2086. Anyway, thanks for the clarification.

Jul 22, 2019 at 18:24 comment added iuvbio Should variables in assignments and conditions not be quoted? i.e. STEP="$1" instead of STEP=$1. I know this is an old question, but I just came across it and am honestly wondering.
