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
