Subj: errorlevels in QB              Conf: (2) Quik_Bas
POSTIT 6.0 SCRIPT HERE-IN

This is a QuickBasic object file for setting the errorlevel
in Quickbasic. It can be linked directly without the need
for ALIAS ect or can be made into or added into a library or
QLB... (but WHY would you want that in a QLB?!? - exits the
environment entirely)
What this is, is a weird hack. About 5 lines of C++ code
compiled into a small .obj, compliments of Mike Janke...
which is then called into a basic file via ALIAS also via
Mike Janke.. then I compiled my little file which has the actual
SUB in it.... well anyhow I have tested it very well with a batch
file that traps all 255 errorlevels... it works.

'DECLARE SUB exitlevel (errlvl%)
'CALL exitlevel (any from 0 to 255)

Enjoy.
