Running out of space during a 7Zip CL process

I am running 7 Zip command line software via an Excel VBA program and occasionally run into a problem where the external disk runs out of space during a tar process and the program continues without giving a message of anything having gone wrong. The following command is executed via a ShellandWait procedure:

"D:\Program Files\SourceForge_7Zip\CommandLine\7za.exe " a -ttar phudgens_Dever_C7_DLIS.tar *Field_Data*.zip

Everything runs fine except when there is insufficient space on the external drive. The tar command aborts and issues an instantaneous message to the (dos window) screen, but then continues with the program. Is there a way to have a message posted that a space error has occurred?

Thanks,
