How to fail a Control M job when running a python function

Question

I have a Control-M job that calls a python script. The python script contains a function that returns True or False.

Is it possible to make the job to fail when the function returns False?

I have to use a shell scrip for this? If yes how should i create it?

Thank you

Returning a non-zero value should work, i.e. `sys.exit(1)` if the function returns `False`, `sys.exit(0)` otherwise. — sendmoreinfo, Jul 30 '19 at 21:20

Return a non-zero value -- i.e. call sys.exit(1) when function returns False, and sys.exit(0) otherwise.

An alternative, quicker GUI implementation (without having to change the code at all) in the "Actions" tab, you can add an "on-do"

On specific statement output: 
Statement: *
Code: *False*
Do: Set to NOT OK

Just keep in mind if you do change your python code, you'd have to change this job as well.
