[McIDAS #PWA-370743]: Mcidas--FRMOLAY not returning error code?

Hi Bill,

No worries on the housekeeping.  I can ignore lines beginning with REM as
well as BATCH can ;-)

Since neither BATCH nor FRMOLAY changed from v2005 to v2006, an upgrade
should have nothing to do with the problem you are seeing.

Hmm...  Which ADDE server are you going to for NEXRCOMP data (output of
DATALOC LIST NEXRCOMP)?

OK.  I have been unable to get FRMOLAY to fail, so it is not possible
(yet) to pinpoint the problem you are seeing.

I have one comment on the ERRORCODE statement:

IF ERRORCODE EXIT 

This will itself give an error since EXIT is not a McIDAS command
or pseudo command (the action of the IF ERRORCODE must be a command
to run).  A syntax that should work would be:

IF ERRORCODE GOTO END

_IF_ the last line of your BATCH file is:

:END

I will keep trying to get the FRMOLAY to fail in the way you are seeing
so I can figure out what is happening...

Cheers,

Tom
