Dwight,

~      Lots of folks have complained about this but ADSM is following the
~      guidelines of all other programs basically...
are you serious about that?
I believe most programs on unix, windows and OS/2 Plattform return an 
meaningfull error code.

Even if the would not: if you really believe the only-log file solution is 
better, try to solve following trivial example in both scenarios, and compare 
the length of code you have to write:

 - write (a part of) procedure, which performs incremental backup  (e.g. "dsmc 
-incr -passw=xxx")
and then a) continuens to work if backup was ok, B) sends a mail to sysop and 
stops if backup was not OK.

1) scenario: DSMC does not return error code
2) scenario: DSMC does  return meaningfull error code

~      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 ? ? ? ? ?

~ 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'
