You might be able to use the ENVIRONMENT command in UV to set an environment variable, and test its value upon return to your shell. Something like:
EXECUTE "ENVIRONMENT SET UVRC=":@SYSTEM.RETURN.CODE will set the value.

Maybe Mark Baldridge would have some ideas being the expert he is and an old colleague at VMARK last century ;-) But I suspect the @SYSTEM.RETURN.CODE is getting lost inside the uvsh executable and not returned to UNIX....
