Hi All,

I gone through robot guide. Found here-[Robot Framework User Guide](https://robotframework.org/robotframework/latest/RobotFrameworkUserGuide.html)

I have written below keyword and teardown-  
With Teardown  
Log To Console Logging message  
[Teardown] Log ${KEYWORD STATUS}

I want to get status every keyword at the end of keyword step execution.  
I tried to directly log this inside my keyword but getting error like-  
**Variable ‘${KEYWORD STATUS}’ not found.**

E.g. I have below keyword  
Create User  
_complete user creation  
IF “${KEYWORD\_STATUS}” == “FAIL”  
Log ${error\_text}  
Call API_

Above teardown I have to call it in every step . Is there way I can directly check If ${KEYWORD STATUS}==‘FAIL’ then call some api .

Does robot automatically calls above teardown after every keyword execution. Currently I have to explicitly make call to it

Hi @bk-user,

Perhaps what you want is [Run Keyword And Return Status](https://robotframework.org/robotframework/latest/libraries/BuiltIn.html#Run%20Keyword%20And%20Return%20Status)

```python
${status}=	Run Keyword And Return Status	complete user creation
IF “${status}” == “FAIL”
	Log ${error_text}
	Call API

```

Dave.
