DOS批处理 & 脚本技术（批处理室） » Can a subroutine I write myself return an errorlevel?

I tried it, and directly using set errorlevel doesn't work echo %errorlevel% // outputs 0 call :sub echo %errorlevel% // outputs 1 if errorlevel 1 echo errorlevel=1 // the test here doesn't work if errorlevel 0 echo errorlevel=0 // errorlevel is still 0, :( pause exit /b :sub set /a errorlevel=1 goto :EOF [ Last edited by bright2k on 2007-4-24 at 03:44 PM ]

errorlevel is a special environment variable, so writing it like this won't work. Wouldn't it be fine to use some other variable? call :sub if "%error%" equ "1" echo error=1 pause exit /b :sub set /a error=1 goto :EOF

I found that you can solve it by using exit /b 1 in the subroutine, no need for goto :EOF :sub exit /b 1 At least there's no problem under XP

Hehe, the OP is using it wrong. So the test statement doesn't work... Also, :errorlevel is an environment variable... The OP can completely modify it according to his own needs... For example... Here's an example for you @echo off echo %errorlevel% call :abc echo %errorlevel% goto :END :abc set errorlevel=1234 goto :EOF :END pause
