When the exit condition occurs use EXIT(NN).

In you batch file that started the process after the start of the filePro program

IF ERRORLEVEL 99 GOTO DONE
IF ERRORLEVEL 90 GOTO OK
:ok
Additional processing 
:done


In my case I can have 2 exit conditions, 99 is a login failure and 90 is a proper login which the runs a filepro menu allowing the user to use the application.

I also use this where I have a batch file which creates a csv file and then opens it in Excel.  I the user cancels out or no records are selected, the Excel routine is not run.
