Just an addendum to this...

Both approaches ( using "set -e" or separating the command with && )
provide the functionality I requested above.

However I noticed that the "set -e" option appears to prevent the error
text from being written to STDOUT.

So I'm using && because I'm keeping the STDOUT contents in a logfile in the
event of an error.

Thanks both,

Works a treat. Much appreciated

You can also use set -e to force the shell to exit whenever a non-zero
return code is found:

qsh cmd('set -e; ls notfound; ls found')

qsh cmd('ls notfound && ls found')

Stack your commands

dothis && dothat && doanother

&& means "proceed If the previous code was 0" in Unix
