Return value of shell function

hai
When i call an external program using shell function, it is running succesfully what i need to do from the external program except the return value is zero hence i can't close that program. if replace the external program name to "notepad", then my programs works fine.

What could be the reason? the said external program was done by some third party. only problem is return value.

can some one help me in this issue.

thanks
Raju
