Robotframework throws error while evaluation a return value

I have below code in a Robot script:

${RC}=    Run Process    ${CURDIR}/my.bat    ${CURDIR}    ${target}
Run Keyword If    ${RC} != 0     Stop Test    "Error BATCH"

I get below error:

Evaluating expression '<result object with rc 0> != 0' failed: SyntaxError: invalid syntax (<string>,line1)

I tried many ways like = 'PASS' or other ways but still I get the same issue - the batch file will either return 0 or %ERRORLEVEL%

How can I solve the issue?

Run Process keyword returns an object. If you want to access the return code or rc from the object you should use ${variableName.rc}.

In your case, the code should be changed as follows:

${RC}=    Run Process    ${CURDIR}/my.bat    ${CURDIR}    ${target}
Run Keyword If    ${RC.rc} != 0     Stop Test    "Error BATCH"

To access other values from the object check this section from the Process library documentation.
