If I recall correctly, return code for version 4.2.x.x is not consistent at all,
Consistent return code introduces in V5.1.x client only. you can download the V5 client and check thereturn code. PS: In V5 client , there is a testflag to display all consistent RC at the end of TSM report. I am not sure that testflag is currently supported for external customers use, so please ask Andrew Raibeck. To get dsmc return code form the command prompt after execute dsmc.exe from command line. in NTx issue "echo %ERRORLEVEL%" In unix, issue "echo $?"

They receive some file-errors, but sometimes it's returncode 0 and sometimes it's returncode 4. I can't see the difference... In the eventlog they show failed. Please help!
