Have IRemoteCommand pass back return code of executed code as separate field

We would like to have an additional field/argument added to the items passed back from making an IRemoteCommand call.

This code is executed for plug-in development and executes a TSO command on the host machine from the RDz client.

Right now there is a isSuccessful check that can be made, but this only tells if the call itself worked.

It would be helpful if there could be an additional item that provides the return code of the command, so that we easily know if the command performed correctly or not.

Currently, the only way to make this determination is to parse a text area that is returned.

This is different than how executing a TSO command in a batch job works on z/OS, because the command's return code sets the steps return code, and identifying if the command performed the desired function is easily determined.

    Do I really need to open a new RFE?

    Since I asked for a call or argument, and what you are proposing is basically anothber call that would need to be done, I think it falls in line with what was requested.

    Thanks!

    We feel the current two step process of finding the return code of the TSO command is the correct way to go but we agree that having to parse a text string to determine that return code is burdensome. We propose returning an object with methods for retrieving severity, msgNo, opcode, rc, reason, message, and results. If you are OK with this proposal please feel free to open a new RFE with that proposal. Thanks.
