     NO IT DOESN'T... BUT like you mentioned if you look in your log
     (unless you are running quiet) you will see everything listed with a
     status and then at the end there will be an overall condition of
     completion statement...

     Lots of folks have complained about this but ADSM is following the
     guidelines of all other programs basically... compare it to logging
     onto your AIX node... you run many commands/tasks... if you run a
     program that crashes would you want your logon session to report that
     it failed when you logoff/exit ?  Better would be, if you were typing
     90 miles an hour, hit your caplock, typed LS <ent> and the system
     would come back with LS not found... one little syntax error... would
     you now want misc reporting to state that your logon session was a
     failure due to that ? ? ? ? ?

     later
         Dwight

Hello,

Does anybody know if the AIX command line interface, dsmc, provides any
kind of return code indication as to the status of a backup or archive
operation? The user guide certainly doesn't contain any info on the
subject. It sure would beat searching thru the redirected output of the
backup/archive job for a text string containing '... ended with 0 failures'
