Passing the java command exit code to batch ERRORLEVEL

Question

I am running a batch to be executed with one of our automated process, inside this batch I am calling for a java command (application). The automated processing should see the final exit code and determine if its success = 0 or not which will be a failure. In this case it does determine that and batch resume to the next line like nothing happened.

Here is the batch

@ECHO Off
SET Talend_Job=%1%
E:
CD E:\Operations\BatchServices\Talend\Batches\Talend_AutoSys_Integration\scripts\
for /f "tokens=2" %%2 in (E:\Operations\BatchServices\Talend\Batches\Talend_AutoSys_Integration\scripts\Results\%Talend_Job%.txt) do (
    set  LABEL_OR_ID=%%2
    goto gotrev
)

:gotrev
echo  LABEL_OR_ID is %LABEL_OR_ID%

java -jar E:\Operations\BatchServices\Talend\Batches\Talend_AutoSys_Integration\scripts\TalendTacTasks-1.0.1.jar ^ get_task_status ^ http://dc01talndtlv01.mycompany.loc:8080/org.talend.administrator/ ^ %LABEL_OR_ID%

set exitcode=%ERRORLEVEL%
echo %exitcode%
echo %ERRORLEVEL%
exit /B %ERRORLEVEL%

----------my results log ---------------
C:\Users\Autosysdevsvc>SET Talend_Job=autosys_talend_test_with_error

%ERRORLEVEL% should contain the exit code of the last command executed by your batch file - in this case, the execution of the jar file.

As seen in your output, your call to the java executable resulted in the legal return code 0.

(Note that you do have an echo command immediately after your java call, but this echo call does not replace the %ERRORLEVEL% value).

As mentioned by both schtever and Jim Garrison, since your java app terminates successfully without any exceptions, the return code it returns is dependent on your java application exit code - which will be 0 if not explicitly stated via System.exit(1).
