common command / program exit codes / error levels

Run DOS / Cmd command Action events (68000, 68002, 68202, 68402) and Start program / application Action events (67000, 67002, 67202, 67402) may end with errorlevels / exit codes that indicate the termination status of executed DOS / Cmd command or program / application. Errorlevels / exit codes can help in finding the particular reason of command's or application's termination. Although Automation Workshop shows errorlevels / exit codes in decimal format, they are also referred as hexadecimal or negative decimal values.
