Daniel,

I am only a C hacker, I mostly write in COBOL.  

But the trick is to check createstatus, RIGHT after you call CREATEPROCESS.

Here is an example, I am sure Walter could do better or Stan and Keven can show you C examples.

     CALL INTRINSIC 'CREATEPROCESS' USING W-CREATE-STAT,
        W-PIN, W-PROG-TO-CALL, CREATEPROC-ITEMNUMS,
        CREATEPROC-ITEMVALS.

     IF CC < 0
        DISPLAY 'CNLBLPRT: create of CUSTPRNT failed.  '
                'CREATE STATUS=' W-CREATE-STAT
     ELSE
     IF CC > 0
        DISPLAY 'CNLBLPRT: create of CUSTPRNT succeeded '
                'with warning ' W-CREATE-STAT
     ELSE
        DISPLAY 'CNLBLPRT: create of CUSTPRNT succeeded '.


Hope that helps,

-Craig
