Return code from running af CL program from java

["T. Konstantinovitz" <chefen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have written a application in java which calls a CL program to perform
a AS/400 task. I have made a symbolic link from ifs to my CL program. I
call the program using:

Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process p = r.exec(cmdArray);

Where cmdArray contains the program name and the parameters for the
program.

This part works fine.

I then wait for the process to complete by calling p.waitfor() and then
I check the exit status by p.exitValue().
The problem is that p.exitValue() allways returns 0, even though an
error occured in the CL program.

Does anyone know how to propagte an error back to the java program?

Any assistance very much appreciated.
