I need to over write the job outcome

Hi,

I am calling a job 'x' from job step of another job 'Y'. As the the purpose of the job step is to call another job, I included the below

code in the job step to wait until the job completes.

EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_start_job @job_name ='X' 

WHILE( 
SELECT count(1) 
FROM msdb.dbo.sysjobactivity aj 
JOIN msdb.dbo.sysjobs sj on sj.job_id = aj.job_id 
WHERE aj.stop_execution_date IS NULL -- job hasn''t stopped running 
AND aj.start_execution_date IS NOT NULL -- job is currently running 
AND name='X'
AND NOT EXISTS( -- make sure this is the most recent run 
SELECT 1 
from msdb.dbo.sysjobactivity new 
WHERE new.job_id = aj.job_id 
AND new.start_execution_date > aj.start_execution_date))>0 
WAITFOR DELAY '00:00:30'

The step waits until the job complete but, i want my job 'Y' to report failure when job X failed. I mean, Please share the script that resolves my problem.

An one more question is, can we over write the outcome of the job?

Thanks
