Basically, let's say that I have a batch file that calls myapp1.exe and myapp1.exe exits with Exit Code 1. Can the batch file capture this information and either force the batch file to exit with that same exit code or perform some other logic?

Answer. You can programmatically invoke a batch file or executable by using the generic Java getRuntime(). exec API. All source code and/or binaries attached to this document are referred to here as "the Program".
EXIT /B at the end of the batch file will stop execution of a batch file. use EXIT /B < exitcodes > at the end of the batch file to return custom return codes.
By default when a command line execution is completed it should either return zero when execution succeeds or non-zero when execution fails. When a batch script returns a non-zero value after the execution fails, the non-zero value will indicate what is the error number.
You can create a batch program that calls itself. However, you must provide an exit condition. Otherwise, the parent and child batch programs can loop endlessly. If command extensions are enabled, call accepts <label> as the target of the call.
@echo off rem ... set errorlevel= MyApp1.exe exit /b %errorlevel% would be the explicit variant.

The accepted answer is correct, but if you are using call to call another batch script, and that second batch script is using SetLocal, you may need to use a parsing trick to accomplish this. If you are running into this, add the following code before your exit b:
ENDLOCAL&set myvariable=%myvariable% Now the value of myvariable is made available to the calling context and you can see the value in the other script.
