Re: Trapping an sqr program status in a dos batch file

[Greg Hesla <ghesla@CIMACONSULTING.COM>]

There is an SQR system variable called #return-status, which is returned buy
SQR upon completion (successful or not) of the program. Set this variable to
the value of your choice, and when the SQR finishes, you will be able to
test for it.
