okay, I have an errorcheck subroutine. If an error is found, I want the program to display an error and return to evloop. This was the best I could come up with to do that, but it seems cumbersome.

Is there a better way than this?

Have you looked at "Option errortrap", "error" and "@error"?

The errortrap doesn't seem to work, as there isn't an actual error. I'm just checking the return code from a CMD box that I launch.

Unless I'm doing that wrong...

Ah... I should have caught that... You didn't show the line where you call the cmd window... Did you add the wait parameter to the cmd line? If not, the script may resume before the return code has a chance to be returned.

Sorry, I didn't want to post the whole code, as its kinda long. But yes, I have a WAIT in there. The code I posted does work, but it seems kinda goofy. I mainly wanted to see if you pros had any better suggestions...

You might try assigning the errorcode to a variable rather than trying to extract it twice... Like this:

"if @not(@null(%%stop))" should also be equal to "if %%stop"
And
"IF @NOT(@ZERO(%%errorcode))" should work as "if %%errorcode"
Both should only pass if the variables are greater than 0 or blank.
