Returning error code to shell

[ramdasv]

I have a standard EXE
I will be running it in command prompt.
I want my exe to return status to the shell. How can I make my standard exe to pass messages to shell.

My problem is if there was some problem so that the exe has to stop executing I have to return a message at the command prompt, with the error code returned to the shell.

How can I do that?

Thanks

To write to your App, use the SendKeys Function.

This is a sample Application.
I have just one module in my application and the application startup object is Main()
This application is set to unattended execution.

I created the exe and run at command prompt But I not getting any error message at command prompt.

I need to get an error message at the command prompt.

Sub Main()
Dim Arguments
Arguments = Command()
If Arguments = "" Then
    Err.Raise 1, "Test application", "No Parameters specified"
Else
    'do Action
End If
End Sub

I did try your code by double click it at the Windows Explorer and it did raise the error with runtime-error "1":

So, what do you mean by Command prompt? it is MSDos Command Prompt window? If yes, why you need to run your application as the Command Prompt?
