Re: [IBMiOSS] Checking return status of Pyhon program

You can use the CEE4GETRC API to get the return code:

PGM

DCL VAR(&RC) TYPE(*INT) LEN(4) INIT(0)
DCL VAR(&FEEDBACK) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(12)
DCL VAR(&MSG) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10)

CALL PGM(QP2SHELL) +
PARM('/QOpenSys/usr/bin/python3' '-c' +
'import sys; sys.exit(5)')

CALLPRC PRC(CEE4GETRC) PARM((&RC) (&FEEDBACK))
CHGVAR VAR(&MSG) VALUE('RC = ' *BCAT %CHAR(&RC))
SNDPGMMSG MSG(&MSG)

ENDPGM


> call kadler/python
RC = 5

Sent by: "OpenSource" <opensource-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

I have a CL driver that calls a Python program to retrieve data via
a webservice.

CALL PGM(QP2SHELL) PARM('/QOpenSys/usr/bin/python3' '/
NYSLA/YMAR701.py')

I'm not seeing an obvious way to validate if the Python program ran
successfully. It has try/on exception blocks so it won't blow up.

For example, I made a slight change and had an indentation error.
Obvious Python failure but how can I inform the CL?

Doing a RCVMSG *LAST, I don't see any message "call QP2SHELL ......"
like I see with "call QSH ......".

I see some documentation that IBM recommends calling QSH and
invoking PASE thru that.

Suggestions? Does anyone have an example of using the QSH method
and error checking that they could share?

Thanks.
