Operand descriptions
The operands described in this section can be specified in any order.
- STOP
- Stops subsequent operations if a return code of 8,
12 or 16 is set. If an error is detected for an operator, SCAN mode
is automatically set in effect; DFSORT is not called for subsequent
operators, although checking ICETOOL statements for errors continues.
STOP mode can be used to group dependent operators (that is, if an operation fails, do not process the remaining operators).
STOP MODE is set in effect automatically at the start of the ICETOOL run.
- CONTINUE
- Continues with subsequent operations regardless of whether or
not a return code of 8, 12 or 16 is set. If
an operator results in an error, processing continues for subsequent
operators.
CONTINUE mode can be used to group independent operators (that is, process each operator regardless of the success or failure of the others).
- SCAN
- ICETOOL statements are checked for errors, but DFSORT is not
called.
SCAN mode can be used to test ICETOOL statements for errors.
Note: SCAN mode is set automatically if an error is detected while in STOP mode.
