Usage Note 246: RETURN CODE of 4 is now set for macro warnings
If you run a macro in Version 6 and a warning is generated the
return code is set to zero. This is incorrect behavior. A return
code of zero means execution completed successfully and without
warning messages. A return code of 4 should be set for warnings.
In Version 7 the problem has been corrected, and now the return
code is set to 4 if a warning occurred.
