I am writing a Robot Script with following logic:

Check that a test executable exists.
If it exists call the executable with arguments.
If it does not exists then log a message and exit as failure,

*** Settings ***
Documentation Test Script to Call an executable from Robot
Library OperatingSystem
Library Process
*** Variables ***
$FAILMESSAGE Unable to locate the executable
$SUCCESSMESSAGE Executing ....
$PATH C:\bin
$BINARY tester.exe
$rc 0

*** Test Cases ***
Test
 [Documentation] Module Test
 $rc = Execute Command dir $PATH\$BINARY
 Run Keyword If $rc == 0 Start Test ELSE Stop Test

Start Test
 Log $SUCCESSMESSAGE
 $Res Run $PATH\$BINARY

Stop Test
 Log $FAILMESSAGE

However the scripts fails stating "No keyword with name '$rc = Execute Command dir $PATH$BINARY' found."

Also it goes thru bit Start / Stop Test case and does not logs message to console.

How can I fix the issue as per expectation?

You need to have more than one space between your keyword and arguments for robot framework to interpret your commands correctly.

Two or more consecutive spaces is considered a separator when using the space separated format.

*** Test Cases ***
Test
 [Documentation] Module Test
 $rc= Run And Return Rc dir $PATH\$BINARY
 Run Keyword If $rc == 0 Start Test ELSE Stop Test

I've also changed Execute Command because I couldn't find it in the libraries you have imported in your script. Run And Return Rc seems to better suit your needs here.

In order to log your output to console there is a Log To Console keyword you can use and your Start TestStop Test keywords need to be moved under a *** Keywords *** section

Hope this helps!
