Hi all,
If a REXX exec is invoked by batch, how to pass its return code to the batch JOB? EXIT rc? or RETURN rc?

I tried the batch job with IKJEFT01/1A/1B, though the REXX ended with non-zero, the job always show MAXCC=0.

My REXX is invoked via:

what happened when You tested both alternatives ?

what does the manual say about EXIT and RETURN ?

why not post the complete info to start with!

You are not invoking rexx

You are invoking ISPF which in turn invokes Your rexx

a double jump is involved !

REXX will pass via exit/return the return code to ISPF

what You ask is hiw to make ISPF exit/return with a return code

look at the ispf manuals for the ZISPFRC use
