Can a batch file capture the exit codes of the commands it is invoking?

Question

Basically, let\'s say that I have a batch file that calls myapp1.exe and myapp1.exe exits with Exit Code 1. Can the batch file capture this information and either force the batc

Answer 1

The accepted answer is correct, but if you are using call to call another batch script, and that second batch script is using SetLocal, you may need to use a parsing trick to accomplish this. If you are running into this, add the following code before your exit b:

ENDLOCAL&set myvariable=%myvariable%

Now the value of myvariable is made available to the calling context and you can see the value in the other script.
