app.exitCode

Description

A numeric status code used when executing a script externally (that is, from a command line or AppleScript).

• In Windows, the value is returned on the command line when After Effects was launched on the command line (using the afterfx or afterfx –m command), and a script was specified with the –r or –s option.
• in Mac OS, the value is returned as the AppleScript DoScript result for each script.
In both Mac OS and Windows, the value is set to 0 (EXIT_SUCCESS ) at the beginning of each script evaluation.
In the event of an error while the script is running, the script can set this to a positive integer that indicates what error occurred.

Type

Integer; read/write.

Example

app.exitCode = 2; //on quit, if value is 2, an error has occurred
