You can use the errorlevel built-in function to determine if an application (remote or local) has been successfully started.  You can also use it to determine whether an error occurred while sending data to a started application.

Example 1

 

start remote Host "COM2"

    "1200 databits 7 stopbits 1 evenpar"

if (errorlevel != 0) then

    #   Application could not be started

    exit 

end if

 

Example 2

 

send "display rpt14\r" to Host 

if (errorlevel = 0) then

    #   Command was successfully sent

    action RetrieveReport else

    #   Command could not be sent

    make IO_ErrorMessage visible

    stop Host 

end if

 

You should test only for errorlevel being equal to or not equal to zero, where zero indicates success and non-zero indicates failure.
