ALLOW Command

The ALLOW command specifies the maximum number of warnings or errors allowed

during execution of a command that refers to multiple objects or that issues multiple

commands. If any value is exceeded, VHSCI halts execution of the command.

Commands that refer to multiple objects or that issue multiple commands are most

commonly used in OBEY (command) files or IN files.

Use the ALLOW command to continue executing a startup command file despite the

occurrence of errors from inoperable lines or devices. Errors can cause the execution

of the OBEY (command) file to terminate. ALLOW permits the network to be started.

The ALLOW command can be entered interactively or from within an OBEY

(command) file.

/ OUT file-spec /

causes any VHSCI output generated for this command to be directed to the

specified file.

ALL

indicates that there is no limit on the number of errors or warnings.

indicates that no errors or warnings are allowed.

count

indicates an integer specifying the number of errors or warnings permitted during

the execution of a command.

ERRORS

declares that the entered command applies to errors only.

WARNINGS

declares that the entered command applies to warnings only.

Considerations

•

If the ALLOW command is not used or if it is entered with no parameters, the

default setting is NO ERRORS and ALL WARNINGS.

•

If ERRORS or WARNINGS is specified but ALL, NO, and count are omitted, ALL

is assumed.
