Hi,
Just wondering if there was anything new in the latest releases to send a return code to the shell (in order to use $? to know if execution was successful or not).
Gilles
Are you asking about the latest 11.x releases?
Yes, I'm working with 11.x
good suggestion. but note that:
on UNIX and Linux, process exit codes are 8 bit unsigned integers (0 to 255). 0 means success. often scripts just check for 0 or nonzero.
we set the exit code to one of a few internally defined (and poorly documented) values in all our executables.
that means to implement the suggestion, we would have to come with a scheme that fits in with current usage.

Even a limited subset of 0..255 would be enough for my use case !
