Hi there!

I'm developing some ARexx scripts to test systematically players but I run into a problem with the following code:

Code:

IF ~SHOW('P', 'AMIGAAMP') THEN DO
   ADDRESS Command 'Run AmigaAMP'
   SAY 'Result1: ' || RC
   SAY 'Result2: ' || Result
   ...

If AmigaAMP (in this example) is not in the path, then the Run command will fail and print out:

Code:

AmigaAMP: Unknown command
AmigaAMP failed returncode 10

But, RC = 0

(I tried redirecting the output of Run to a file using Run >T:Output but it contains only the CLI name, not the two error lines, which are still printed out in the Shell...)

What am I missing?
