WALK/NOWALK Parameter

\ NOWALK /

The WALK/NOWALK option allows you to define whether statistics for a set type are to be accumulated.

 WALK

WALK indicates that you want to accumulate statistics for a set type. WALK is set by default; it can be coded for documentation purposes.

In the AUTOMATIC Mode, use WALK when you are using a SET statement to specify the length distribution ranges for a set type. See LNTHDIST Parameter.

 NOWALK

NOWALK indicates that you do not want to accumulate statistics for a set type. Use NOWALK when you are in AUTOMATIC mode to exclude a set type from processing.

Default: The default is WALK.

Note: The meanings of AREA statements take precedence over those of SET statements. Therefore, to execute a SET statement whose purpose is to include a set type in processing, you must be sure that anyassociated AREA statements do not exclude access to owner or member records for the set type. If an AREA statement (using the NOMEMBERSET or NOOWNERSET options) excludes access to any part of a set, no statistics for the set will be collected and an error message will appear in the Audit Report.
