===================================================================

If you have read the full help text (/HELP), you would have
learned of this feature.

XXCOPY's built-in help gives you a list.

XXCOPY /HELPE

By the way, XXCOPY has two modes in reporting the exit code.

1: XXCOPY's own scheme /ER0
2: XCOPY-compatible (simplified) scheme) /ER

The following text was captured from the console after
running XXCOPY /HELPE.


Exit Code Comment (in default mode)
---------------------------------------------------------
0 No error, Successful operation
1-32 DATMAN software package error code
33 Aborted by user
34 Illegal commmand parameter
35 Invalid DOS version
36 The current directory is invalid
37 Resident DATMAN wrong version
38 Cannot create the destination directory
40 Some fatal error has occurred
41 Invalid source specifier
42 Invalid destination specifier
43 Invalid exclusion item specifier
44 Disk Full
45 Share violation error
46 Conditional termination
47 Path name exceeds the file system's limit
48 Cannot overwrite read-only file
100 No files were found to copy
101-254 # errors in file copy (1-154, biased by 100)
255 # errors exceeding 154 files


Exit Code Comment (in XCOPY compatible mode by /ER)
---------------------------------------------------------
0 No error, Successful operation
1 No files were found to copy
2 Aborted by user
4 Disk Full, command syntax error, etc.
5 Disk write error.

==========================================================

Since XXCOPY had this command (/HELPE) for a long time,
we did not bother to create a dedicated tech bulletin.
But, I guess, users tend to see everything in the technical
bulletin. So, we should create a short page for this
topic...
