For client operations, don't use that SUMMARY table field to assess
status. That field comes from a related account log field, and has no
bearing on the real outcome of the operation.
If the operation was initiated manually, then monitoring the client itself
should give you status.
If the operation was scheduled via the scheduler, then QUERY EVENT with
F=D will show you the results. I would not expect a completed status with
RC 0 in the situation you describe. See the client manual chapter on
"Automating tasks" for further info about the client return codes for the
command line and scheduled events.

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
