DEADLOCK

Within an allocation specification, a DEADLOCK statement tells the ALLOCATE statement what to do when it cannot distribute a source value to a target cell specified by a value in a dimension hierarchy because the target cell is either locked by a RELATION statement in the allocation specification or the cell has a basis value of NA.

Syntax

DEADLOCK [SKIP|NOSKIP]

Parameters

SKIP

Tells the ALLOCATE statement to log the error and continue with the allocation even though it cannot distribute source values to cells specified by a branch of a dimension hierarchy because a target cell is locked or the basis value of the cell is NA.

NOSKIP

Tells the ALLOCATE statement to stop the allocation and to return an error when it cannot distribute source values to cells in a branch of a dimension hierarchy because a target cell is locked or the basis value is NA. NOSKIP is the default action when you do not include a DEADLOCK statement in the aggmap used by the ALLOCATE command.

Examples

For examples of using a DEADLOCK statement in an allocation specification, see Example: Allocation Specification from an Input File and Example: Allocation Specification from a Text Expression.
