How to return the value from the called shell script to the calling sh script

Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi all,
I have two ksh scripts

#sample1.sh
#!/bin/ksh
. ./sample2.sh
echo $fileExist

#sample2.sh
#!/bin/ksh
func()
{
i=1
return $a
}
func
echo $?

Here how should I return the value of sample2.sh back to sample1.sh?
Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Gaurav

Save $? to another variable instead of echoing it, it will be immediately available. Or use backticks to capture the output of the last echo.
