Failure of batch script..

[shantanu125]

Hi Buddies,

we have a dos script which is used for taking nt backup.
A single batch file calls many other batch files by using call command. One such batch script is for taking backup on tape. Because of hardware problem sometimes the backup doesn't happens and the batch file stops executing. We want to bypass this error. Can we return the success or failure of a batch script. If it is so then we can easily trap the error and continue with executing the other batch files.
Any Suggestion........

After a call command starts and/or runs, create a text file (see below). When the next called batch starts, check to see if the text file exists. If not you have an error. If it does exist, erase the file and do the next set of commands.
