You could try using errorlevels. Some more info here.
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.

@echo off
rem ...
set errorlevel=
MyApp1.exe
exit /b %errorlevel%
would be the explicit variant.
%ERRORLEVEL% stores the return value of last executed command
call program.exe
echo program.exe returns "%ERRORLEVEL%"
IF %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 (
echo FAILED
)
