- SETERROR-sets the ERRORLEVEL for DOS batch file processing
- by Tony Alan Rhea 10/24/83
-
- This program accepts one command line argument and sets the
- DOS ERRORLEVEL to that argument. Currently, this program has
- a limit of 9 for the errorlevel, but apparently DOS has a a
- much higher limit (FFh -- the code is returned in a half-reg).
- An invalid or missing argument gives an error message and an
- errorlevel 0. This program requires DOS 2.0.
-
- Usage:
- SETERROR n
- where n is between 0 and 9.
