Purpose

Stops compilation when the number of error messages of a specified severity level or higher reaches a specified number.

Defaults

-qnomaxerr

Parameters

number: It specifies the maximum number of messages the compiler generates before it stops. number must be an integer with a value of 1 or greater.

The severity levels (from lowest to highest) are listed as follows. See Error severity for more information about these levels.

i: Informational messages.
l: Language-level messages, such as those produced under the -qlanglvl option.
w: Warning messages.
e: Error messages.
s: Severe error messages.

Usage

If the -qmaxerr option does not specify the severity level, it uses the severity that is in effect by the -qhalt option; otherwise, the severity level is specified by either -qmaxerr or -qhalt that appears last.

When -qflag is specified, -qmaxerr counts the messages that are allowed by the -qflag option.

When -qsuppress is specified, -qmaxerr does not count the messages that are censored by the -qsuppress option.

Examples

To stop compilation of myprogram.f when 5 error messages are encountered, enter the following command:

xlf myprogram.f -qmaxerr=5:e

To stop compilation of myprogram.f when 5 severe errors are encountered, enter the following command:

xlf myprogram.f -qmaxerr=5

To stop compilation of myprogram.f when 5 language level messages are encountered, enter the following command:

xlf myprogram.f -qmaxerr=5:l

or:

xlf myprogram.f -qmaxerr=5 -qhalt=l
