DTEXEC ReturnCode

Hi,

The DTEXEC Utility has the capability of returning ReturnCodes which have specific meanings e.g.

ReturnCode=3 means: The package was canceled by the user.

Is it possible to set my own ReturnCode values?

For example, my Package contains a Script Task which contains code to search a folder for a file. If the file cannot be found then I make the Script Task fail and hence the Package fails. But, when the Package is invoked by the DTEXEC utility, then the ReturnCode is always set to 1. Is it posssible to set the ReturnCode from within the Package (in, say, a Script Task in the Event Handler) to a different value?

It is necessary to be able to set custom application-specific return codes because these return codes are passed to the Batch Scheduler which alerts Operations (Support) staff in the event of failure. Meaningful (custom) ReturnCodes expedite problem solving and are (usually) mandatory in large production environments.

If it is not possible to make a Package return my own returncodes via DTEXEC then can you suggest alternative solutions, please?

Thanks.

The /CONS option is useful but not the answer. Any Ideas?
