Thanks, it worked or at least gave me an error and exited the batch file. The batch
files are difficult to work out if there are a lot (I have 12 or more files to check)
so I will probably do as you suggest (write a wrapper) once I have worked out how to
do it, and then I can return the error

Subject: Return code to exit from a .ba
I am doing a simple record length check on a series of files via a dos batch file e.g.
check_length.bat:
check_length.pl file1 100
check_length.pl file2 200
check_length.pl file3 300
Is it possible to do something in perl (like a return code) so that the batch file
aborts if say file2 is i
