By "J" you mean j.exe or jwdp? Those are GUI apps, and return codes are used in (automated, non-interactive, non-GUI) batch applications. So I don't believe there's a convention (in Windows, at least) for GUI apps to populate ERRORLEVEL. > Also that the exit function be extended to give optional text and/or > logfile If the logfile wasn't given, where would the text be written? GUI applications don't have a stdout (like ERRORLEVEL, that's in the domain of console applications). >write, append, codes, texts, logfile name, default log file/stdout All these parameters and options seem too complicated for a foreign. Especially when this is so easily written and customized to taste in user code. If you have this function already, why do you want a foreign to do it for you? If you're worried that the function isn't standard and you can't depend on its presence outside of your environment, perhaps you could submit it to Chris Burke as a candidate for inclusion in the standard library. -Dan ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
