Re: Return Codes issued by an SQR program?

Look to the documentation about #return-status, may this will help you.
(here is the documentation)

The variable #return-status is the value to be returned to the operating
system when SQR exits. It may be set in your report. #return-status is
initialialized to the "success" return value for the operating system.

#return-status is an SQR reserved, or predefined, variable.
All of SQR's reserved variables are global variables. Within a local
procedure they must be referenced using the leading underscore:
#_return-status.
