Maddy1,

Just to heads up, i think &RETCODE may do the trick, if your DB is down. But, about RS, need to look, is there any environment variable get set once server is running.

-IF (&RETCODE LE 1) AND (&FOCERRNUM EQ 0) THEN GOTO SKIP_EXIT;
-TYPE *** RETCODE = &RETCODE
-TYPE *** FOCERRNUM = &FOCERRNUM

Maybe I'm missing something, but if the WF server is down how is this ever going to run?

You can replace the reference to the bid login with your own as per below.
We have a small piece of html generated by Dev Studio that simply says "WebFOCUS down ....try later"

    Since you are using JAVA as launch tool, you can use the response header value of the WebFOCUS request and display the alert accordingly.

    Thanks,
