Is it possible to get a return value other than error level from .net exe? The exe is to be called from a script, batch or rexx.
If not, can you invoke a method in an assembly from batch or rexx and retrieve a return value?

The entry (and exit) point of any .NET executable is the main method, which has to be a Static method declared with either a
voidorintreturn type.For this reason, you cannot directly return anything other than an
int.This
intvalue is the error level (by convention, 0 means successful).You can still in your program write to a “status” file that will allow you to write whatever you want and read from it.
