Re: Unusual message sent back to sftp

["jmmckee flinthills.com" <jmmckee@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I contacted the remote site and confirmed that none of the files had
been sent.  Ran the program again, and all was well.  I thought the
handle message was indicating an issue with opening a file.  Wish I
knew why that rather serious error did not set a non-zero return code.
 Fortunately, no data loss, but it would have been nice had they
contacted me when the expected files did not arrive at the usual time.
 Had I not see that message in the spool file, I would have received
an email a few weeks later inquiring about the file.

Thanks for confirming that it should have failed, and that the exit
status does appear to be a bug.

Is there any way to know if this has been reported at v5r4?
