This is just a quick query for the new tech newsgroup!

How can you call OS_Cli from assembler, and have errors passed back?

The obvious way is to use XOS_Cli, but this appears to still report errors that
occur in the execution of the CLI command string. What I want is for the V flag
to be set as per a normal X... SWI call, without any output from the execution
of the OS_Cli command.

However, it appears not to be possible. What am I doing wrong?

Ta for the help in advance,

William

Don't call OS_Cli; it really isn't that useful from assembler except for very
simple cases (you waste time decoding the string). Just use the underlying OS
call directly.
