Run Options
When SDDBC is run, one of several options may be specified through the
use of the PARM parameter. These options deal with the processing of the
commands and the handling of any errors encountered. The parameter
values and their meanings follow:
-1 -- Parse-Only
0 -- Execute and do not abort regardless of the number of errors
(Default)
1 -- Execute and abort on the first error
>1 -- Execute and abort only if the specified number of errors are
found
Parse-Only Option
When SDDBC is run with the parse-only option, the dictionary is not
opened and the schema and root file for an IMAGE data base are not
created. The commands issued are only parsed to catch syntax errors.
Execute and Do Not Abort Option
If the PARM parameter is not specified, the default is not to abort
regardless of the number of errors encountered. All the errors are
reported, but non-fatal errors will not terminate the program.
Execute and Abort Options
The execute and abort options allow flexibility for the user to specify
the exact number of errors that are considered acceptable. Both
syntactical and operational errors are counted. The program may abort
before the error count is reached if a fatal error is encountered.
