Windows Agent delivers incorrect return code for GET_FILESYSTEM and PATH_FILE_COUNT

Products

• CA Automic Workload Automation - Automation Engine

Issue/Introduction

The script function GET_FILESYSTEM in combination with the File System Value 'PATH_FILE_COUNT' 
returns '1' instead of the previous and documented value of '0', when the folder defined does not exist. 
With Windows Agent version 12.2.0, it worked correctly - returned '0', 
with Windows Agent version 12.2.1, it returns the value '1'.

Example: 

:SET &TAR = GET_FILESYSTEM(WIN_AGE,'C:\Test1\*',PATH_FILE_COUNT,"STD_WINDOWS")

:P &TAR
