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*/

zgrep

ZGREP(1)                                                      General Commands Manual                                                     ZGREP(1)

NAME

       zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression

SYNOPSIS

       zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...

DESCRIPTION

       Zgrep  invokes  grep  on  compressed  or  gzipped  files.   These  grep  options  will  cause  zgrep  to  terminate  with  an  error  code:
       (-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*).  All other options specified are passed directly to grep.  If no file is specified,  then  the
       standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep.  Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.

       If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.

EXIT CODE

       2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
