ERRORLOG

Within an allocation specification, an ERRORLOG statement specifies how many allocation error conditions to log and whether to continue or to stop the allocation when the specified maximum number of errors have been logged. You specify the error log with the ERRORLOG keyword to the ALLOCATE command.

Syntax

ERRORLOG [UNLIMITED|MAX <num>] [STOP|NOSTOP]

Parameters

UNLIMITED

Tells the ALLOCATE command to write an unlimited number of errors to the error log. (Default.)

MAX num

Specifies a maximum number of errors that ALLOCATE can write to the error log.

STOP
NOSTOP

Specifies whether to stop the allocation when ALLOCATE has written the maximum number of errors to the error log. When you specify STOP, the allocation stops. When you specify NOSTOP, the allocation continues but ALLOCATE does not write any more errors to the error log. When you have specified UNLIMITED, then the STOP and NOSTOP arguments have no effect and the allocation continues no matter how many errors occur.

Usage Notes

Formatting the Error Log

The ALLOCERRLOGFORMAT option determines the contents and the formatting of the error log that you specify with the ERRORLOG argument to the ALLOCATE command. You can specify a header for the error log with the ALLOCERRLOGHEADER option.
