Running the SDDBD Program
SDDBD Run Options
SDDBD Run Options
When SDDBD is run, one of several run options may be specified through use of the PARM
parameter of the RUN command. This parameter allows you to control SDDBD’s error
handling. Using this parameter, you may specify the exact number of errors that may be
encountered before the program is aborted. If, for example, two errors are acceptable, but
more than two errors is not, then the PARM parameter will specify the number 3. An
example of the RUN command with the PARM parameter follows:
RUN SDDBD.SDXL.SYS; PARM=3
Three sets of values are accepted for the run option:
-1 Parse-only option. Only command syntax is checked. No dictionary or
IMAGE database is opened.
0 Execute and do not terminate regardless of the number of errors. Program
continues until an EXIT command is issued. All errors are reported, but
non-fatal errors will not terminate the program. This is the default option.
n Terminate when n errors have been detected. Both syntactical and
operational errors are counted. If a fatal error is encountered, the program
may abort before the error count is reached. Not recognized in session
mode.
When the program aborts due to too many errors, an error message is issued, and the
program sets the system Job Control Word to a value >= FATAL.
