When you did the CRTCMD did you specify that the command can only run in a program?

ALLOW(*BPGM *IPGM *IMOD *BMOD)

We are stumped attempting to create a command which returns a value.

when we attempt to create the command, we get compile errors:

* CPD0281 3700 30 RTNVAL(*YES) valid only
in CL programs or REXX procedures.
* CPD0283 3700 10 Default value of null
pointer assumed.
* CPD029D 3700 20 Parameter with
KEYPARM(*YES) follows a parameter with KEYPARM(*NO).
KEYPARM(*NO) assumed.
* CPD029B 3700 20 Parameters with
KEYPARM(*YES) found but no prompt override program specified.
KEYPARM(*NO) assumed.

So, is it the case that the command definition does NOT use RTNVAL,
and RTNVAL only applies to the command processing program ?
