Help with Return codes

I have the below script I am running on a Solaris system to check the status of a Tivoli Workload Scheduler job and return the status. We need this script to return a '0' if any of the jobs in the stream are in a "EXEC" state and an "1" if in a "HOLD" state. I am not a programmer so I am not sure if this ist he correct way to script what I am looking for.
When I run this script I get no output which I want to get from the awk statement. The exit status is always a "0" as well.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

set RETURNCODE1=1
set RETURNCODE2=0

cd /usr/local/Tivoli/maestro/scripts/bin

#OUTPUT=`/usr/local/Tivoli/maestro/bin/conman sj cawlki11#adsfctacbrds_dly@+stat
e=HOLD`
#OUTPUT=`/usr/local/Tivoli/maestro/bin/conman sj cawlki11#adsfctacbrds_dly@+stat
e=EXEC`
STATE=echo ${OUTPUT} | awk '{ print $17 }'`

if [ "${STATE}" = "HOLD" ]
then
$RETURNCODE2
else
$RETURNCODE1
fi

qorder

qorder(1B)								PBS								qorder(1B)

NAME

       qorder - exchange order of two pbs batch jobs in a queue.

SYNOPSIS

       qorder job_identifier job_identifier

DESCRIPTION

       To  order two jobs is to exchange the jobs positions in the queue or queues in which the jobs resides.  The two jobs must be located at the
       same server.  No attribute of the job, such as priority is changed.  The impact of interchanging the order with the queue(s)  is  dependent
       on local job scheduled policy, contact your systems administrator.

       A job in the running state cannot be reordered.

OPERANDS

       Both  operands  are  job_identifiers which specify the jobs to be exchanged.  The qorder command accepts two job_identifier operands of the
       form:
	   sequence_number[.server_name][@server]
       The server specification for the two jobs must agree as to the current location of the two job IDs.

STANDARD ERROR

       The qorder command will write diagnostic messages to standard error for each error occurrence.

EXIT STATUS

       Upon successful processing of all the operands presented to the qorder command, the exit status will be a value of zero.

       If the qorder command fails to process any operand, the command exits with a value greater than zero.
