$$RetCode
There are certain commands which set the $$RETCODE.
This tells you the "return code" of the command, i.e. whether
the command succeeded or failed. Usually a 0 means success.
RetCode will be valid for recursive Gui4Cli commands such as
copy etc, as well as ARexx commands given with SendRexx.
Also, if you issue a CLI command you can afterwards check the
$$RETCODE, to see if the command was successful.
Example :
CLI 'c:copy Myfile to ram:myfile'
if $$RETCODE = 0
say "File copied"
else
say "Error during copy"
endif
The $$retcode will only make sence in CLI commands which are
not "run >nil:" because otherwise it will tell you if the "run"
commmand succeeded and not the command itself..
