exit(1) function not found ??

nmz787intel

following this post:   how to get exit code !=0 when there is a skill error in a skill script? 

I have this code:
```

(defun nestedFunction ()
(printf "Inside nested function\n")
(exit(1))
(printf "This will not be printed\n")
)

(defun mainFunction ()
(printf "Inside main function\n")
(nestedFunction)
(printf "This will also not be printed\n")
)

if(errset({
(mainFunction)
} t) then
exit(0)
else
exit(1)
)

```

and when I run it, I get this output with an error:

```

\o Inside main function
\o Inside nested function
\e *Error* eval: not a function - exit(1)

```

so apparently the "exit" function has been deprecated? What is the recommended way to kill a script with a particular returncode?

    No, it hasn't. The error is saying that exit(1) is not a function. If it was an undefined function, the error would have been:

    *Error* eval: undefined function - exit

    The problem is that you have (exit(1)) - you have a list inside the function call - and it's the list of (exit 1) or exit(1) that isn't a function. Extra matched parentheses cause a problem with SKILL, mainly because of the mix of C-style and Lisp-style function calls - the flexibility of different ways of calling functions causes some inflexibility when additional parentheses are given. 

    You need to either have:

    (exit 1)

    or 

    exit(1)

    not 

    (exit(1))
