Syntax Rules

The rules pertaining to each clause in the syntax are listed as follows. Required and optional clauses are noted, as well as any other requirements specific to this command.

SET options PROcess

SET options PUNch This clause will select the mode under which you will process. You can specify:

• PROCESS - to execute commands against the CCDB. If you omit the command, CA Endevor/DB will default to PROCESS mode. Refer to Chapter 3 for a full description of PROCESS mode.
• PUNCH - to enter PUNCH mode. Refer to Chapter 4 for a full description of PUNCH mode.

STOP enables you to end the updating of the CCDB if CA Endevor/DB Batch encounters a critical error. If you want to stop processing when such an error is found, you must enter STOP in the SET OPTIONS clause. If you specify STOP, and CA Endevor/DB does stop processing due to a critical error, any remaining batch commands will be checked for syntax errors. If you specify STOP in your batch job, it will remain STOP until the job ends.

By default, if a critical error is detected, or when a command fails, CA Endevor/DB Batch processes the rest of the commands in the batch run.
