Hi Marinko It depends on whether you are executing a TCL command or a Query within the EXECUTE statement.
For a TCL command, if the RETURNING or SETTING variable returns 0 then I believe the command was successful, if however -1 is returned, the command did fail. However, if you are performing a SELECT query within the EXECUTE statement, the RETURNING or SETTING variable has a different purpose and returns the number of records selected. If you want to, instead of creating a RETURNING variable, you can access @SYSTEM.RETURN.CODE directly depending on your needs. However, I suspect the reason this doesn't appear in the documentation is that possibly the documentation authors expected developers to use RETURNING or SETTING rather than @SYSTEM.RETURN.CODE directly..... Hope that helps!

Does that mean, that if the value of the RETURNING variable is not equal to 0, the EXECUTE command failed? Where are the @SYSTEM.RETURN.CODES documented or are these always os specific? Actually I have a value 0f 1478 on a AIX machine.
