- Failat(V1.3 in C:) (2.x, 3.x internal)
-
-
-
- NAME
- Failat - To set a fail level for a batch file.
-
- SYNOPSIS
- Failat RCLim
-
- DESCRIPTION
- When using Execute to run scripts, any command that
- returns an error greater than the current value of the
- Fail level will cause the shell to abort the script with
- an error message. You can use Failat to increase or
- decrease this level to whatever you need. The shell will
- reset the Fail level (usually 5, 10, 20 but can be any
- number) at the end of every script execution, so scripts
- always start out in a known state.
-
- Under 2.x/3.x the result code is stored int the
- environment variable RC, which is represented by $rc. The
- bigger the return code, the bigger the error. If the
- severity of the error is higher than the number you set
- then the script stops running.
-
- Once your FAILAT has been run in the script, the
- FAILAT level returns to 10.
-
- You can use FAILAT to a very high number and test the
- return codes that any of your IF statements return.
-
-
- EXAMPLE
- 1. To temporarily set the failure level to 30
-
- Failat 30
-
- This now makes it possible to execute commands that return
- error codes greater than 20, which would ordinarily cause
- Execute to stop with an error message.
-
- 2. To display the current failure level threshold.
