ERRORS
ERRORS
ERRORS sets the maximum number of error messages to allow before the compiler
terminates the compilation.
num-messages
is an unsigned decimal constant in the range 0 through 32,767 that represents the
maximum number of error messages to allow before the compilation terminates.
A single error can cause many error messages. The compiler counts each error
message separately. If the compiler’s count exceeds the maximum you specify, the
compiler terminates the compilation. (Warning messages do not affect the count.)
