Calling script from RM cobol and returning value to cobol

Is there a way you can return a value from a script that is called from a rm cobol program...
01 WS-COMD-LINE-PGM X(39) value sh ./getUserId.sh 12345"
01 WS-RETURN-SYS-CODE PIC 9(8).

CALL "SYSTEM" USING WS-COMD-LINE-PGM
GIVING WS-RETURN-SYS-CODE.

WS-RETURN-SYS-CODE will return a numeric success / failure indicator.

My script returns values using exit command as below: (suggestion to improve the script will also help) -

#getUserId.sh - Get user from /etc/passwd using PID passed from cobol program.
processid=$1
echo $processid
if test -f pslog
then \rm pslog
fi
ps -ef -o "%u: %p" | grep $processid > pslog
cat pslog
puser_id="$(cut -d: -f1 < pslog)"
echo "User Name=" $puser_id;
puser_name="$(cut -f 1,5 -d : /etc/passwd | grep $puser_id)"
echo $puser_name
exit $puser_name /* I want to pass this back to cobol program that called thsi scrip*/

ndisgen

NDISGEN(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 						NDISGEN(8)

NAME

     ndisgen -- generate a FreeBSD driver module from a Windows(R) NDIS driver distribution

SYNOPSIS

     ndisgen [/path/to/INF /path/to/SYS]

DESCRIPTION

     The ndisgen script uses the ndiscvt(8) utility and other tools to generate a FreeBSD loadable driver module and a static ELF object module
     from a Windows(R) NDIS driver, for use with the ndis(4) compatibility module.

     The ndisgen script is interactive and contains its own help section.  Unless the paths to both files are supplied on the command line, the
     script will prompt the user for the .INF and .SYS files needed to generate the FreeBSD driver module.  The script will also prompt for any
     firmware or other external files needed.

SEE ALSO

     ld(1), objcopy(1), ndis(4), kldload(8), ndiscvt(8)

HISTORY

     The ndisgen utility first appeared in FreeBSD 6.0.

AUTHORS

     The ndisgen utility was written by Bill Paul <wpaul@windriver.com>.
