catch the errorlevel of the command:

[code]
...
/path/to/somecommand ; RC=$?
if [ $RC -eq 0 ] ; then
print - "everything worked out fine"
else
print - "something screwed up"
fi
[code]

The errorlevel is set anew for every command issued, so be sure to get it as soon as the program in question is finished.

Checking the return code won't help. What bhgopi wants to do is rollback the transaction within Sybase. By the time you get the Unix return code the transaction is already committed.

Bottom line: You have to check the results and do the rollback or commit entirely from within isql. You probably should be asking this question on a Sybase forum, rather than Unix.
