I am looking for a suggestion on how to trap a DBUTIL error in a batch job.
I
find nothing in the manual about this. I've tried making errors and checking
JCWs and variables, but nothing turns up.

My particular need is to restore part of a data base to another system and

   DISABLE data base FOR INDEXING.

 It would be big help if the $STDLIST did not need to be checked manually to
verify that this step was successful.

Well, check this out and see if it helps.

:LISTF NODB,2
Non-existent file. (CIERR 907)
:SETJCW JCW 0
:SETJCW CIERROR 0
:SHOWJCW
CIERROR = 0
JCW = 0
:DBUTIL
HP30391C.08.02 TurboIMAGE/XL:  DBUTIL (C) COPYRIGHT HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY

>>DISABLE NODB FOR INDEXING
  Root file does not exist.
>>EXIT
:SHOWJCW
CIERROR = 0
JCW = 99  <<< There you go  >>>
