Hi,
i was looking for the return code of the dsimport commnad in windows command prompt. As i am always getting 0 as a return code. Even if lets say the dsx file to be imported has a wrong name there is a window pop up comes up (thats ideally a dsimport windows interface). But if you hit cancel to it, still the return code is 0.

Here is link on forum that discuss something abt the dsimport, but unfortunetly the code mentioned here too uses "ERRORLEVEL" windows command that is not giving correct result. Help out if you have tried something like this.

You are correct. ERRORLEVEL does not work. Not sure why. All the command line tools fail to set errors.

What happens if you capture file unit #2 (stderr in UNIX terminology)?

Code: Select all

dsjob -options project job 2> myfile.txt

You are correct dsjob works. So not ALL the command line tools fail to set errors.
