Getting the return code of an exec-called program

I'm trying to simply call an .EXE (Win32 console-) application from LabView 5, which works fine with EXEC. The problem is, that I cannot query the return code of the program afterwards. (The error output is always 0, no matter what the program has returned.) Anyone knows a nice short solution to that? Thanks!

Hi Ritter,
Somehow I think I may be missing something.
(after looking around)
What version of LV are you using?
I am guessing 5.1 or earlier.
LV 6 EXEC has standard output available.
If you are using LV 5.1.1 or so, I can only recomend the the re-directed solution.
If file system is issue how about using a complete file spec starting with "c:"? Do you expect to be running on a machine that does not have a c drive?

Exit codes returned from dtexec utility
When a package runs, dtexec can return an exit code. The exit code is used to populate the ERRORLEVEL variable, the value of which can then be tested in conditional statements or branching logic within a batch file. The following table lists
the values that the dtexec utility can set when exiting.

How to generate the return code automatically through EP

Hello all,
I have created a transaction Iview and i am calling transaction SE16 to which i am passing application parameter as the table name which i want to see.Now i am getting the SE16 screen with the table name successfully passed on to the input field. But i want the Iview to process this screen also so that i dont have to press enter to see the next screen. i want this iview to process the SE16 screen directly and show me the next screen. I dont know how can i pass the return code parameter which will directly execute the table name entered in SE16 screen.suppose my table name is "ABC" and i have set the application parameter as DATABROWSE-TABLENAME=ABC&~okcode=ANZE where ANZE is the sy-ucomm value.Plz reply at the earliest.
Thanks and regards,

I do think OOP can only complement procedural programming,Wrong. They don't have to have anything to do with each other.

I mean we are talking about the implementation, or the system, here.
Simply let it end and the "return code" will be 0.
But ... is there a way for a Java application to execute another Java application ? The analog for CreateProcess, but in the Java world ?Start a thread and call the main method of the class that kicks it off with the necessary arguements is one way.
When an Java app executes another Java app will a new VM be created ?Runtime.getRuntime().exec() and call java ...... Which will, obviously, start a new VM.
Is ther an internal way, for this that will work inside the same VM ?See the thread situation above.
How will the parent get the exit code from the child ?If called with Runtime simply call System.exit and then (from the original program) evaluate the return code (see the Runtime and Process classes).
If called in a thread, without using Runtime.exec any where, then you use a return at the end of the main method, but, if you are looking for a "return code" from an entire application, you're probably looking at Runtime.exec anyway. Otherwise, you are better of writing it so that it can be used in a real OOP manner (i.e. you don't have to call the main method of another application at all, you simply start instantiating and using the classes involved), in which case, a "return code" from the "application" is meaningless.

Remote Object - not able to get the returned value from java method

     Hi ,
I am developing one sample flex aplication that connects to the java code and displays the returned value from the
java method in flex client. Here I am able to invoke the java method but not able to collect the returned value.
lastResult is giving null . I am able to see the sysout messages in server console.
I am using flex 3.2 and blazeds server and java 1.5
Here is the code what I have written.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><mx:WindowedApplication xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" backgroundColor="#FFFFFF" initialize="initApp()">

     public String setName(){          System.
out.println("Name changed in Java");
          return "Name changed in Java";
And I have configured destination in remote-config.xml
<destination id="sro">
   <properties>
    <source>SimpleRemoteObject</source>
    <scope>application</scope>
   </properties>
</destination>
Please help me .

You are not able to get the returned value because if you see the Remote object help you will realise you have to use result="resultfn()" and fault = "faultfn()"
In this you define what you wish to do.
More importantly in the remote object you need to define which method you wish to call using the method class like this
<mx:RemoteObject id="remoteObj" destination="sro" result="r1" fault="f1" >
     <Method name="javaMethodName" result="r2" fault="f2"/>
<mx:RemoteObject>
r2 is the function where you get the result back from java and can use it to send the alert.

Get RFCOPENEX return code long text

Hi All.
I want make an external connection with RFCOPENEX to SAP, but how can I get the message text to the return code directly from SAP?
THX, Nils

Hi,
you can use Function Module MESSAGE_TEXT_BUILD as:
CALL FUNCTION 'MESSAGE_TEXT_BUILD'
    EXPORTING
      msgid               = g_msgid
      msgnr               = g_msgno
      msgv1               = g_msgv1
    IMPORTING
      message_text_output = g_message.
Message text will be in g_message.

LrTasks.execute not getting correct return code

Hi all,
I'm writing an Export Filter Provider that, in the postProcessRenderedPhotos function, calls an external Python script like this:
            exitStatus = LrTasks.execute(command)
            log:debug("Task returned, exit status is " .. exitStatus)
            if exitStatus ~= 0 then
At the end of my Python script, I use
sys.exit(0)
and have verified that running of the script indeed returns 0 by running it in the shell and then checking the return code
echo $?
returns 0
Whenever I run this script from my Export Plugin, I always get an exitStatus of 256. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

I would first assure that in the Lightroom case as well, the script is executing up to the sys.exit statement as well - I suspect it is not (but don't really know...).
I have called python scripts from plugins both successfully and unsuccessfully, although I can't be certain I've checked the actual return code from the sys.exit command.
Consider trying an ultra-short script which writes to a file and exists with a code - make sure you can read the file in your plugin before assessing the return code.
If still a problem, report as bug on Adobe feedback site of course:

It's good to read Antoniad's post. It reassures me that I can use my new iPad as an international communication device which is the reason I purchased the thing. However, I called Verizon today (my provider of cellular data) who told me that I can't just pop in a SIM card as you suggested. He also said that he was from the "Pre-Pay" division of Verizon and he was certain that I couldn't do what I planned to do. I was extremely disappointed as I had called Apple prior to buying the iPad and I read the algorhythm on the website for choosing an iPad before purchasing. Those sources were quite specific and the information seemed clear. I would be able to use my iPad to communicate through cellular connections while traveling on the road, literally, abroad. I was told that I could pop in a data card wherever I was, just as you indicated in your message above, and voila I was good to go. The Verizon rep definitively rained on that parade, but said that I might be able to do this if I have a "Post-Pay" account, a different area of Verizon. I haven't had the chance to talk to this division yet, so I looked to Apple's Support for answers. Maybe I will find out that I can use my iPad as an international communication device while traveling on the road afterall, however, it appears I may need a different type of account (Post-Pay), something I was never warned about. Can I switch to this kind of account? I don't know. I have to find out. If you have any information about this issue, it would be good to share since I strongly suspect there are others who bought the iPad for the same purpose that I have.

How can I get the PUK code for my SIM card?

I had to do a factory reset this morning on my DROID RAZR. As I was going through this afternoon setting everything up again, I saw that I could set a password for my SIM card. I thought it was asking me to create a password, not enter a default one. So needless to say, I locked myself out of my phone, and I need the PUK code. I cannot call, this is my only phone, and I cannot go to a local store today or tomorrow. I also cannot go the next two days without my phone. I've tried doing a chat, but because it's only sales that communicate through the chat, they were less than helpful and told me I can only fix this by going to a store, which I can't do.
So, can I chat with anyone to get my PUK code today via internet?

Why is this working for everyone, but me? When I follow these instructions (and many others that I've found in this community -- which has been helpful with other matters thus far) There is no PUK or SIM information. I have an (ESN) and my phone number. that's it. Help! I'm in a rabbit hole!
Many thanks for any support you can provide!

How to get the returned error messages in the Try/Catch block in DS 3.0?

A customer sent me the following questions when he tried to implement custom error handling in DS 3.0. I could only find the function "smtp_to" can return the last few lines of trace or error log file but this is not what he wants. Does anyone know the answers? Thanks!
I am trying to implement the Try/Catch for error handling, but I have
hard time to get the return the msg from DI, so I can write it to out
custom log table.
Can you tell me or point me to sample code that can do this, also, can
you tell me which tables capture these info if I want to query it from
DI system tables

Hi Larry,
In Data Services XI 3.1 (GAd yesterday) we made several enhancements for our Try/Catch blocks. One of them is the additional of functions to get details on the error that was catched :
- error_message() Returns the error message of the caught exception
- error_number() Returns the error number of the caught exception
- error_timestamp() Returns the timestamp of the caught exception.
- error_context() Returns the context of the caught exception. For example, "|Session Datapreview_job|Dataflow debug_DataFlow|Transform Debug"
In previous versions, the only thing you could do was in the mail_to function specify the number of lines you want to include from the error_log, which would send the error_log details in the body of the mail.
Thanks,
Ben.

In Elements 11 how do I get the verification code needed to send files as e-mail attachments ?

In Elements 11 how do I get the verification code to send files as e-mail attachments ?

I’ve found it usually works best with web mail via Adobe after obtaining verification. I know some email services block bulk email completely and I’ve only tested it with Gmail which works fine. Should also work with other web mail e.g. Yahoo and Hotmail. Give it a try. Before you start it will help to check your internet security settings. If they are set to High, reduce the settings to Medium temporarily. Then follow these instructions.
1. Log in to your mail provider on the web and add the following email to your address/contacts book.
[email protected]
2. Open Organizer and on the menu click:
Edit >> Preferences >> Sharing
3. Choose Adobe Email Service from the client dropdown menu.
4. Add your name and email address to the fields provided and click OK
5. Test the system (first use only) by selecting a photo in organizer and choosing Share >> Photo Mail then click Next (Mac users should use attachments)
6. Choose a contact then click Next

LiveCycle DS , can't get the return value of fill( arg) from Assembler class

Hi all!
I'm a have small problem , can any one help me? Please
I make a project which very similar to Product project(in
example).
1) Have Assembler class: I work correctly
package flex.samples.stock;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Collection;
import java.util.Map;
import flex.data.DataSyncException;
import flex.data.assemblers.AbstractAssembler;
public class StockAssembler extends AbstractAssembler {
public Collection fill(List fillArgs) {
StockService service = new StockService();
System.out.print(fillArgs.size());
return service.getStocks();
public Object getItem(Map identity) {
StockService service = new StockService();
return service.getStock(((Integer)
identity.get("StockId")).intValue());
public void createItem(Object item) {
StockService service = new StockService();
service.create((Stock) item);
public void updateItem(Object newVersion, Object
prevVersion, List changes) {
StockService service = new StockService();
boolean success = service.update((Stock) newVersion);
if (!success) {
int stockId = ((Stock) newVersion).getStockId();
throw new DataSyncException(service.getStock(stockId),
changes);
public void deleteItem(Object item) {
StockService service = new StockService();
boolean success = service.delete((Stock) item);
if (!success) {
int stockId = ((Stock) item).getStockId();
throw new DataSyncException(service.getStock(stockId),
null);
some require class is ok.
2) I configure in data-management-config.xml
<destination id="stockinventory">
<adapter ref="java-dao" />
<properties>
<source>flex.samples.stock.StockAssembler</source>
<scope>application</scope>
<metadata>
<identity property="StockId"/>
</metadata>
<network>
<session-timeout>20</session-timeout>
<paging enabled="false" pageSize="10" />
<throttle-inbound policy="ERROR" max-frequency="500"/>
<throttle-outbound policy="REPLACE"
max-frequency="500"/>
</network>
</properties>
</destination>
3) My client app:
I use :
<mx:ArrayCollection id="stocks"/>
<mx:DataService id="ds" destination="stockinventory"/>
ds.fill(stocks); --> Problem here
When I run this app, The StockAssembler on the server work
correctly (i use printout to debug) . But variable stocks can't get
the return value,it is a empty list.
Please help me!

Hi,
The executeQueryAsync method is “asynchronous, which means that the code will continue to be executed without waiting for the server to
respond”.
From the error message “The collection has not been initialized”, which suggests that the object in use hadn’t been initialized after the execution of the executeQueryAsync method.
I suggest you debug the code in browser to see which line of code will throw this error, then you can reorganize the logic of the code to avoid using the uninitialized object.
A documentation from MSDN about Using the F12 Developer Tools to Debug JavaScript Errors
for your reference:
