   I would like to get a return code from a executable file (.cmd or .exe)
   when I execute the file from within my 'C' code.

If you want to execute .EXE programs this is not a problem, use DosExecPgm
with the wait option (alternatively with no wait, using DosCWait to check
the exit status of the child). For .CMD files you should use DosStartSession,
but I don't remember exactly how you fetch the return code. DosStartSession
has a *VAST* amount of options that you can specify.
