/IGNORE[=options]
/NOIGNORE (D)
Directs MMS to specify the severity levels of errors that MMS
normally ignores when it executes action lines. The parameters
correspond to the DCL severity levels W, E, and F. The /NOIGNORE
qualifier directs MMS to abort execution when it finds an error.
These qualifiers affect the execution of action lines but not the
behavior of MMS.
The options field can contain the keyword WARNING, ERROR, or
FATAL. WARNING directs MMS to ignore W errors and continue
processing, but to abort execution if it finds an E or F error.
If you specify the /IGNORE qualifier without parameters, WARNING
is the default. ERROR directs MMS to ignore both W and E errors,
but to abort execution if it finds an F error. FATAL directs MMS
to ignore all errors, and to continue processing the description
file. This parameter is equivalent to the .IGNORE directive.
When you specify the /IGNORE qualifier, the errors that MMS
ignores are those generated by the execution of action lines.
The only fatal errors MMS will not ignore are syntax errors.
The /IGNORE qualifier does not stop MMS error messages from
being generated or displayed. Informational messages are always
displayed, regardless of whether you use the /IGNORE qualifier.
NOTE
Take caution when executing MMS with the /IGNORE qualifier;
if errors occur during processing, the target might be
updated but still contain errors of which you will not be
aware.
The .IGNORE directive and the Ignore action line prefix are
similar to the /IGNORE=FATAL qualifier. However, instead of
typing them on the command line, you include them in the
description file.
To override the .IGNORE directive contained in a description
file, type the /IGNORE[=WARNING], /IGNORE=ERROR, or /IGNORE=FATAL
qualifier explicitly on the MMS command line. You cannot override
the Ignore action-line prefix on the MMS command line.
