Once the command intrinsic executes I will check for the existence of the=
 CM
KSAM file. If it exists, then I know the intrinsic did work successfully.=
 If
the file isn't there then I know it failed.

That will solve the problem. Not the optimum solution but a solution.


Thank you to all who responded,

Brian.
