Return Code in WebFOCUS on Windows platform

We are trying to come up with a better method than we currently have for capturing errors in the WebFOCUS world in our overnight batch process. Is there a way to set the RETURN CODE that anyone has come up with? We currently submit a batch file from our mainframe z/Os system which kicks off a Report Caster job. Our current process is inefficient as to catching errors when they occur. Thus the need for a way to check a return code.

Thanks.

Leah,

If I remember correctly the code you want is EXIT FOCUS [return code]

So for instance, if you had a three part process, each part of which utilises the previous parts output. Then you might want to exit with a particular return code if no records exist in the interim file -

-IF &RECORDS NE 0 THEN :Continue_1;
-EXIT FOCUS 22
-:Continue_1

Just tried it and it aborts the agent when included in a fex run from within Dev Studio, so it might not suit your purpose. Haven't tried it from RC.

That command was for MVS FOCUS ... not sure if it will work elsewhere.

That's what I thought and, again, you're correct that it was used in MF environment.

An alternative that will work on the M$ Window$ platform is -

-IF &RECORDS NE 0 THEN :Continue_1;
-TYPE Aborting Run with Code 22
-SET &RETCODE = 22;
-EXIT
-:Continue_1
