read exit value on rc.start

Hi,

I'm executing a BaaN session on Unix using the rc.start and providing two parameters as well.

When execting it on Unix is like:

Quote:

> rc.start 231245 705

On the rc.start the two parameters are reveived and set them as environment variables, then the session is executed:

Code:

REQUI_ID=$1		;export REQUI_ID
CMPNY_ID=$2		;export CMPNY_ID
PO_ID=0			;export PO_ID

ba6.2 kmpuro239m000 2>${BSE_TMP}/rc.startjoberrpotest2

${ECHO} $PO_ID

On the BaaN session I read these variables:

Code:

	req_id = getenv$("REQUI_ID")
	comp_id = getenv$("CMPNY_ID")

Then process is executed as expected, but at the end when the session is closed I need to return a value

Code:

exit( str$(orno) )

How can I read this value on rc.start if the session is executed like:

Code:

ba6.2 kmpuro239m000 2>${BSE_TMP}/rc.startjoberrpotest2

I tried to set also an environment variable on BaaN session

Code:

	ret = setenv("PO_ID",str$(orno))

but it does not work, I read other threads that this is because is executed in a different shell and when the command is executed the additional shell is closed so the variable is lost, this is why you see at the end of the rc.start the $ECHO

Thanks

Hi Altrev,

we are doing it a bit different: 3rd argument is a file name (created by the shell script that calls ba6.2). Ht session does not "exit(0)" or "exit(1)"; instead it writes the desired result to the file. You get the idea?
