    All,

    Im trying to terminate a pascal program with a specific errorlevel I can
    check for in a 32-bit DOS batch. Ive tried Halt(<errorlevel>) but the batch doesnt pick it up.

    Thoughts?

    Here are my batch lines:

    program.exe
    if errorlevel 99 echo ERRORLEVEL 99
    if errorlevel 98 echo ERRORLEVEL 98
    ...etc to 0

    When I run this with a coded Halt(333) it prints every ERRORLEVEL xx line
    in the batch...

    Thanks in advance!

    My DOS memory is rusty, but IIRC, "if errorlevel x", means catch every error level that is x "or greater".

    So if you have your tests in ascending order, it will trip on every one.

    Perhaps you want "if errorlevel <x> goto <label>"?

    You Sir, are correct! I had the program code right but the batch logic backwards. All fixed now!

    Thanks!!!!!
