Mapping LabVIEW error codes to exit codes of another application

[rfudge]

I am building a framework in which Application1 receives exit codes from Application2 and that exit code is mapped to show passing/failure of a test case written in Application2. If Application2 were to be Labview. How would I do this mapping? Since, Labview always returns exit code 0 (pass) on execution of a VI.

What is an exit code and how are you getting that?  Is this an application that is built into an .exe?  How are you calling it that it gives you an exit code?

Please provide more details on your application.  Perhaps even attach a VI that shows how you get that code.

Say, my LabVIEW VI has two components which are generating error codes. I want to be able get these error codes out of LabVIEW and pass it to another application. Currently, I am doing this operation by writing the error codes to an error file(txt file) and calling python to parse the contents of this file and send it to the other application as exit codes(python can generate custom exit codes). Exit codes are codes generated when an application terminates.

The problem here is that the other application that is supposed to receive information from LabVIEW, only reads exit codes to show if the run has passed/failed.

I searched the NI Site and only found 1 thing that is relevant.
