Hi

I don't know if this is relevant for anyone else, but I would like to have a simple task that just outputs something (string, variable), mainly for testing purposes. Let's say I am creating a new job, and I want to test that that I am grabbing the right values from a variable in a loop. For example a 'Get column by row..' function. Now I have to send mail, use popup, sql task, or something like that to test that I am getting the right values. A simple task that just outputs this would make development easier i feel. This is not an important request, but would be nice in the future sometime

I use a cmd /c ECHO {....} for this, but a task in the Internal section 'Show Variable' would be nice.
And I do not want the text in there like 'variable x contains:' because you could use the result for a loop.

You can also use PowerShell Task with code:

write-output {TASK(PrevTask|StdOut)}
