Hi, I am having some problems with handling ADPro using AREXX.

The manual says that when there is an error the AREXX variable
RC will be set to 10 and the variable ADPRO_RESULT will contain
some information about the error.  If RC is 0 then ADPRO_RESULT
will contain som eother useful information.

My problem is that no matter what when I do this:

say ADPRO_RESULT

in my AREXX script all I get is the string:

ADPRO_RESULT

no useful information at all!  Other variables print out fine
with the 'say' command.  What's up?  Is the documentation wrong?
Has anybody else used AREXX to control ADPro?  I am anxious to
see some more AREXX scripts.
