EP2DCX Exit Codes and Errors
When EP2DCX completes its conversion, it returns an 8-bit exit code that
provides error information about the state of the conversion. This exit
code is returned to DOS. It is available to a program that has executed
EP2DCX using the DOS function call 4BH and then waited for the completion
of EP2DCX with the DOS function call 4DH. This value is also available in
batch files using the ERROR LEVEL condition.
If the conversion was carried out error free, the exit code returned is
zero. If an error occurred, bit 7 of the exit code determines the type of
error: 0 for a DOS error and 1 for a non-DOS error.
If the error is a DOS error (bit 7 = 0), bits 0 through 6 of the exit code
are encoded as follows:
