   '-CANcelerror-'   

The CANCELERROR keyword specifies that the CONSOLIDATE operation is to be ended if any of the following errors occur:

• Permanent read error, such as a data check. Processing of the data set ends and the CONSOLIDATE operation is ended.
• Write error, such as an incorrect track format. Processing of the data set ends and the CONSOLIDATE operation continues with the next data set.

If you omit the CANCELERROR keyword, and CONSOLIDATE processing encounters a permanent read error, the track in error is not copied and processing continues with the next data set.

For information about handling errors for incorrect tracks, see Diagnosing problems in DFSMSdss operations.
