Why c is 8 outside the if but is 0 after the same operation inside it? I'm using an ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION AT THE TOP. Am I missing something?

@echo off
SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
set a=5
set b=3

SET c=0
set /a c=5+3
echo. %a% %b% %c%

SET c=0
IF 2 GTR 0 (
set /a c=5+3
echo. %a% %b% %c%
)

try with `echo. !a! !b! !c!` – npocmaka May 12 '16 at 05:45
JosefZ that's about a subroutine. I ask why it does'nt work inside an IF in the same main batch,,, – Antoni Gual Via May 12 '16 at 07:04
And there is a big ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION at the top... – Antoni Gual Via May 12 '16 at 07:19
