getting return code from .exe from within script

[Kdodson]

I cannot figure out how to get a return code from an .exe executed with the run command. I also cannot figure out how to get it from the dos command either when running a batch file. Its being returned when the application finishes. I have to check it to make sure the application finished properly so that I can do the file transfer if it does not finish properly then I do not want to transfer the file.

Did a quick Google search and here are a couple pages that may help you out:

Once a return code is in an environment variable, the getenv command can be used to access it.

the application exits with a specific code:
c++
" return 1;"
basically you are saying there is no easy way of trapping this return code from within the ASPECT scripting language. I have to save the code using dos commands in a batch file and then access the env variables. Boy that really stinks. I played around with a terminal program called Zoc and it was super easy to do this stuff but because it wasnt as well known I decided to use procomm.
