Jerry, there are 2 paths through the function execute_command_line() in execute_command_line.c One is for synchronous execution and one is for asynchronous. For async, exitstat is untouched. For synchronous, exitstat is set. EXITSTAT (optional) shall be a scalar of type integer with a decimal exponent range of at least nine. It is an INTENT(INOUT) argument. If the command is executed synchronously, it is assigned the value of the processor-dependent exit status. Otherwise, the value of EXITSTAT is unchanged. If I read the code correctly, it tries to save a copy of the input value of exitstat, and then uses that to compare to the returned value. if exitstat is present, then is should simply be set to the return value.
