Re: Retrieving error return code from C program

[Bruce Vining <bvining@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The Retrieve Job Information (QUSRJOBI) API can be used to access the
return code of the C application.

PGM
DCL &RCVVAR *CHAR 256
DCL &RTNCDE *CHAR 4
DCL        VAR(&RTNNBR) TYPE(*DEC) LEN(5 0)
CALL RTNCDE
CALL QUSRJOBI (&RCVVAR X'00000100' 'JOBI0600' '*' ' ')
CHGVAR &RTNCDE %SST(&RCVVAR 109 4)
CHGVAR &RTNNBR %BIN(&RTNCDE 1 4)
ENDPGM

If RTNCDE does a return(5) then &RTNNBR will be set to 5.

I am calling a C program from CL via the CALL command.  The C function
returns an error number like 0 or 1 for success or failure.  Is there some
way to retrieve this value from a CL program?  I can run the program via
QSH and see the return code, but I would prefer to just use CALL for this.
 I assume there is no way to use CALLPRC when you need to run the main()
function in a C *PGM?

Thanks

Mark
