Calling EXE (With Return Code)

[NewsArchive]

I have a SB script that calls an EXE (works file).

I am doing some processing in the EXE, and than closing the app with a
HALT(1)

Shouldnt the variable SB_RETURN capture what i am returning from the EXE?

TIA

HALT(1) passes the value 1 to the operating system, setting the DOS
ERRORLEVEL.

To retrieve the "DOS" ERRORLEVEL, you have to check the %_SB_ERRORCODE%
return value.

Does this help?

Tim,

IIRC, you can RETURN(retval) from your application without using HALT( ) to
return the parameter for a successful exit. HALT is a bit 'ungraceful'.

I didnt know you could do that with an EXE. I knew you could with a DLL.
