FCOPY Reference Manual

IGNERR 

Bypasses errors in a magnetic tape fromfile and counts ignored errors up
to a specified maximum.

Syntax 

;IGNERR [=number-of-errors]

Where:

number-of-errors     Is an integer specifying the maximum number of
                     errors to be ignored.  If the number of errors
                     exceeds the maximum, the operation terminates.

File Attributes 

The fromfile must be a magnetic tape unit with read access, and the
tofile must have write access.

Operation 

You can use IGNERR only with magnetic tape fromfiles.  IGNERR ignores the
following file system errors:

     21    Data Parity Error
     26    Transmission Error
     27    I/O Timeout Error
     38    Tape Parity Error

Errors other than these cause the operation to terminate. 

Example 

In the following example, the system ignores up to five errors while
copying the first file on the magnetic tape unit *TAPE to the disk file
FILE3.  The operation terminates if FCOPY encounters a sixth error:

     >FROM=*TAPE;TP=FILE3;SUBSET;IGNERR=5
