Example @echo off my_nify_exe.exe if errorlevel 1 ( echo Failure Reason Given is %errorlevel% exit /b %errorlevel% ) Warning: If you set an environment variable name errorlevel, %errorlevel% will return that value and not the exit code. Use (set errorlevel=) to clear the environment variable, allowing access to the true value of errorlevel via the %errorlevel% environment variable. share|improve this answer edited Aug 9 at 16:11 Dave Jarvis 16.4k24105204 answered Dec 2 '08 at 18:07 Samuel Renkert 6,80821626 17 If you're running directly from a Windows command line and always seeing 0 returned, see Gary's answer: stackoverflow.com/a/11476681/31629 –Ken Aug 30 '12 at 13:51 1 Also if you're in powershell you can use echo Exit Code is $LastExitCode –Brandon Pugh

The https://www.manageengine.com/products/desktop-central/returning-error-code-on-scripts-how-to.html last command executed in the function or the script determines the exit status. This document provides steps on how to return the error codes on .vb scripts, Powershell scripts and batch files. Steps Exit codes for batch files Use the command EXIT /B %ERRORLEVEL% at the end of the batch file to return the error codes from the batch file EXIT /B at the end of the batch file will stop execution of a batch file. use EXIT /B < exitcodes > at the end of the batch file to return custom return codes. Environment variable %ERRORLEVEL% contains the latest errorlevel in the batch file,which is the latest error codes from the last command executed.

The exit command terminates a script, just as in a C program. It can also return a value, which is available to the script's parent process.http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/exit-status.html >Every command returns an exit status (sometimes referred to as a return status http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php?topic=65815.0 or exit code). A successful command returns a 0, while an unsuccessful one returns a non-zero value that usually can be interpreted as an error code. Well-behaved UNIX commands, programs, and utilities return a 0 exit code upon successful completion, though there are some exceptions.Likewise, functions within command line a script and the script itself return an exit status. The last command executed in the function or script determines the exit status. Within a script, an exit nnn command may be used to deliver an nnn exit status to the shell (nnn must be an integer in the 0 - 255 range).When a script ends with an exit that has no parameter, the exit status of the script is the exit status of the last command executed in the script (previous to the exit).#!/bin/bash COMMAND_1 . . . COMMAND_LAST # Will exit with status of last command. exitThe equivalent of a bare exit is exit $? or even just omitting the exit.#!/bin/bash COMMAND_1 . . . COMMAND_LAST # Will exit with status of last command. exit $?#!/bin/bash COMMAND1 . . . COMMAND_LAST # Will exit with status of last command.activation email? 1 Hour 1 Day 1 Week 1 Month Forever Login with username, password and session length Forum only search News: Home Help Login Register Computer Hope » Microsoft » Microsoft DOS » How to return success/failure from a batch file? « previous next » Print Pages: [1] Go Down Author Topic: How to return success/failure from a batch file?

Let me try to explain it in a different way:a.bat calls b.bat and when b.bat completes, a.bat continues with steps depending on whether b.bat succeeded or failed.a.bat:Code: [Select]rem some code here
call b.bat
if "%errorlevel%=="0" goto success
:failure
rem do something
goto end
:success
rem do something else
:endWhat would b.bat look like for a.bat to work?Thanks again!Gabor Logged fireballsApprentice Code:TerminalThanked: 3 Re: How to return success/failure from a batch file? « Reply #3 on: September 09, 2008, 04:23:57 PM » If one of b.bat's commands fails because of an error then it will set errorlevel to 1 and exit the batch program, returning to a.bat.What is wrong with the code you provided below?FB Logged Next time google it.
