Is there a better way of getting the GAMS exit code rather than parsing the GAMSException message?

I’m using the Gams .Net Api, and sometimes I need to know the exit code of the Gams process.
When it is any other than 0, a GAMSException is thrown. The ex.Message contains the exit code when is applicable, for example: “*** GAMS return code not 0 (3)”.
Although it would be an ugly solution, I could easily extract the number using a regexp but my code would break if the api changes the way of returning this message.
Is there some other way of getting the exit code? I have not found any about this in the documentation. If not, maybe it could be added as an attribute some place inside the corresponding GAMSJob object in a future version.

Hi,

At the moment there is no easier way to get the exit code from the GAMSJob class, but you made a good suggestion! We consider adding the code itself as additional information in the next release.

Best regards,
Lutz
