In OneCLI 2.4.0 (released on 10/26/2018), to better serve the purpose of scripting and automation, program exit/return code (IMPORTANT: this is the CLI code you typically get by running the command "echo %errorlevel%" for Windows and "echo $?" for Linux) has been refined. If you are using OneCLI version 2.3.0 and before, when moving to 2.4.0, you may have to upgrade your scripting solution.
