The CL tool uses the following environment variables:

- CL and \_CL\_, if defined. The CL tool prepends the options and arguments defined in the CL environment variable to the command line arguments, and appends the options and arguments defined in \_CL\_, before processing.

You can use these environment variables to define the files and options you use most often and use the command line to define specific files and options for specific purposes. The CL and \_CL\_ environment variables are limited to 1024 characters (the command-line input limit).

You cannot use the /D option to define a symbol that uses an equal sign (=). You can substitute the number sign (#) for an equal sign. In this way, you can use the CL or \_CL\_ environment variables to define preprocessor constants with explicit values—for example, `/DDEBUG#1` to define `DEBUG=1`.

You can't use the [/D](d-preprocessor-definitions.md) option to define a symbol that uses an equal sign (**=**). Instead, you can use the number sign (**#**) for an equal sign. In this way, you can use the CL or \_CL_ environment variables to define preprocessor constants with explicit values—for example, `/DDEBUG#1` to define `DEBUG=1`.
