Hello,
That depends on the programming language.
In COBOL, you would:
| Code: |
| MOVE nnnn TO RETURN-CODE. |
where nnnn can be from 0 to 4095. |

Hi vasanth,
i think this return-code concept is used with sub programs.If the program is excuted successfully we will set the return-code and use in in the main program for other process based on this.Correct me if i am wrong and pls provide other info where it can be used. |

Not always, you might like to MOVE one code to RC in one condition & other in some different condition; as in
| Code: |
IF EOF-MYFILEIN
DISPLAY ' PROGRAM XX100 ABEND'
DISPLAY ' MY INPUT FILE IS EMPTY '
MOVE +4003 TO ABDCODE
RETURN-CODE
PERFORM 9999-ABEND
ELSE
IF RECORD-CODE OF MY-INP-RECORD NOT = '00'
DISPLAY ' PROGRAM XX100 ABEND'
DISPLAY ' MY INPUT FILE HEADER IS MISSING'
MOVE +4004 TO ABDCODE
RETURN-CODE
PERFORM 9999-ABEND
END-IF
END-IF. |
