LG> A few weeks ago, someone posted some information on passing LG> an error level on an exit from a QuickBasic program. In order for the following to work (at least within the environment) you need to start QB with "/l" to load qb.qlb. Be careful to save your source because this will immediately exit the environment too! DECLARE SUB ErrorExit ALIAS "_exit" (BYVAL ErrorLevel%) ErrorExit 20 Keith Rolland posted another way to exit with an errorlevel awhile back that was interesting. If you want, I'll dig it up. --- Msg V4.5 * Origin: Reciprocity Failure (1:124/4115.236)
